Update: Travis got a cardiac wheelchair


Travis has been able to finally get out of bed, but not out of the room. For physical therapy he is getting on a tilt table that they wheel into his room. Travis is transported to the tilt table, laying down, strapped in, and the tilt table slowly makes him slowly stand up. He has been doing so well with it. He stood up to 65 degree yesterday for 15 minutes! The highest they let them stand with the tilt table is 70 degrees, so Travis is almost there! Hopefully next week they will help him sit at the edge of his bed and get onto a cardiac chair (a bed like chair that assists him in sitting up). He is feeling better now that he is moving more, and is starting to come down on his pain meds! I know that all your thoughts and prayers are being heard, and Travis does have the strength to get through this!
