Steppin' Out

We've hit a couple of important landmarks today--Adam had his head bandage removed, and was also able to get out of the room on his own power! The first two photos below are a before and after shot of his recent looks...the lovely white turban is no longer, and the impressive looking scar is now visible in all of its glory!

This was actually taken a day ago, when his eye was still a little puffy:


And after the bandage was removed:


Along with the bandage removal, Adam had all of his attachments removed (sensors monitoring heart rate, respiration rate, etc.) so he can now move about a lot easier. We took a walk around the unit with our visitors coming along for company...and of course, Dr. Monkey leading the way! (We apologize that Dr. Monkey hasn't made as much of an appearance during this hospital stay...he has been rather busy with his various responsibilties!)


After a busy morning, we had a little quieter afternoon with rest time for all. The plan is still that Adam will be released on Monday since he is meeting the significant landmarks on his recovery. It will be very nice to be on our own schedule again, sleep in our own beds, and move to the next phase of recovery.
