In last few days, they have successfully reduced Walkers IV drips from 8 major meds at beginning of his stay on the ECMO unit down to 1 IV drip today. Yesterday he stood up under his own weight for 1st time! :-) Baby steps. As we have heard, if he only got 1% better everyday, he would be 100% better in a 100 days. 

On the Florida Hospital ECMO unit, slow and steady wins the race as they say here. And as we have learned, the lungs are called “lazy lungs” as they are the slowest to heal. His lungs are much better but still have a long road ahead. We (his family) have all been pitching in to help in so many ways, much thankful for our family and friends that have been supportive through all of these extraordinarily tough circumstances. Ever onward, ever forward we march!
