He Walked!!!

All I want to think about is the look in Parker's eyes when he walked 8 steps across the room and 8 steps back. He moved the walker along with him and we moved IV pole and all other attachments that make up his life right now. I could tell by the look in his eye that those 16 steps represent his taking his life back from the pancreatitis. And that's huge.

I don't want to think about the increase in his white cell count today, or the infection in his bladder, or the fact that he had to back track his diet to only ice chips because of the ileus. I only want to think about that look and the pride he felt in his accomplishment.
