getting around ... slowly.

We've been having some quiet days here at Easter Seals House. Jax has been feeling good and slowly working on getting more mobile on his own strength. This morning he walked about 10 feet unassisted, and a few other times, shorter distances. Our physio team believes his mobility issues are temporary and caused from being in bed for two weeks, compounded by the effects of the Vincristine chemo. While in hospital this time he was being closely monitored for heart rate, BP, respiration, and his bowel issues. So overall he was feeling crummy and with his restricted food intake, had very little energy. We have a paediatric walker he can use to get moving around but he's not a fan of it. He's more content to walk with my help. We went for a long walk with him in the stroller yesterday and are heading out to do the same now. We expect that as soon as he returns to a home environment where he'll have more motivation to get up and about, he'll be keeping up with the big boys in no time.
