"These boots were made for walking..."

Mom is having a great start to her day here at MRH.  She got a good report from Dr. McCoy this morning.  All her blood levels look better and he wants her up and moving as much as possible.  We have followed doctor's orders so far and Mom enjoyed a Carol Lee Doughnut for breakfast and walked the hallway from one end to the other.  All the nurses were giving Mom lots of encouragment as she was walking which was awesome to see.  She did really well on her walk and it is the most she has walked in about a week.  I am so proud of her! Go Mom! :) 

Dr. Chandra (the infectious diesease doctor from Roanoke) has started Mom on a different antibodic and her nurse just started that through her IV.  It should take about 30 minutes to run through.  We all hope that this antibodic makes Mom feel even better.  She has said several times that she feels much better than yesterday morning.  The last unit of blood yesterday helped boost Mom back up as well.  

Mom is resting now and getting ready to enjoy a Wendy's cheeseburger for lunch (thanks Kay!:))  We plan on walking more this afternoon and eating lots of snacks! :)  Updates to come!
