Saturday Visit

We were up early on Saturday so we could go and visit Boomer in the morning during visiting hours.  Dr. Bray was there from 8-10am and that's when we were allowed to visit.  Side note: Dr. Bray is ALWAYS there. I am so impressed with how much she works and how happy she always is to see us or talk to me on the phone.  She's an awesome resident!

So we go there after 8:30 so that we could let Dr. Bray get into her day before we wanted to see Boomer. When we got there, she walked out with Boomer on the sling and he was doing really well walking.  Boomer hadn't seen Justin all week so he was really excited to see him. Boomer tried to jump up, but those back legs just still aren't cooperating yet.  Dr. Bray wanted to show off how well he was doing and give Justin a try at walking Boomer in the sling.  So, we walked around the corner over to the neurology exam rooms and sat down in there and Justin was able to give Boomer a big puppy hug.
Dr. Bray talked to us in our exam room and Dr. Olby joined us as well.  They were both impressed with the progress that Boomer was making.  We discussed that he would be released on Sunday at 9 AM and they would fill us in on all of the information then about what needs to happen.  We also discussed when he would need to come back and visit and walk on the special treadmill in the Biomolecular building.  He needs to come back on June 16th or 17th for his follow up.  

Dr. Bray and Dr. Olby left and we were allowed to take Boomer outside and walk around.  So Justin was the one to try doing his sling walking today and outside we went! 


We tried walking Boomer around outside and we could see that his back left leg in really strong and his right one isn't quite there yet.  Right now I think he likes to walk more so on the concrete instead of the grass because he cant quite pick his feet up he kind of shuffles them instead of really walking.  


We had a really chill visit with Boomer and just loved on him.  We are just really excited to be able to bring him home and snuggle with him on the couch while he continues to recover.
