Look Who is Walking in the Pool! Praise God!

Look who's walking in the pool! I have attached some new pictures of Chris below this post for you to see. Chris is still doing well with his therapy and is progressing better than anticipated. It is still a slow process, but we definitely see new improvements every day. He walked 300 feet in the pool with a walker today! He also walked with the assistance of a harness support machine, for 260 feet. He is still requiring some oxygen in small amounts, but keeps it on almost all of the time. He had to increase the amount a little in the last few days. The doctor ordered a chest x-ray and it came back clear, so as far as we can tell, his lungs are just still needing more time to strengthen, like everything else. The liver specialist came in this evening and told us that he received the pathology reports from the biopsy in Arlington and also the pathology from the arm tumor taken out in November. He has reviewed them, but still wants further information, so he has ordered some more detailed tests to be done on the tumor tissue collected. The doctor is planning to have more info in the next day or two.We are very happy that he is being so thorough. The week days are pretty full for Chris until about 5:00 in the afternoon, but please feel free to come by and say hello whenever you can. Visitors are nice in the evenings and the weekends, since these times seem to drag on so slow. Thank you all for your continued prayers.

Love, Mandy
