Recuperation journey: Expect the unexpected, Part 3

Our son Cameron is making some progress in his recuperation journey.

He told me Wednesday he did a loop around his hospital room using a walker. 
Slowly but surely, I guess one could say.

We don't know when he will be discharged, but certainly hope it will be soon.

Thank you to everyone who has sent their thoughts and prayers for his healing in the past three days. We appreciate it.
