Steve went to the aquarium today! It was a cool outing and he felt good the whole visit. They departed at 9 AM, and were back at Shepherd by noon. It would have been better if they had a little more time, but it was still great to be surrounded by fish. Steve was a pro maneuvering the wheelchair through the dark rooms, no surprise there.
By the time they got back, he was so exhausted that he slept through occupational and physical therapy sessions. He didn't even know that they were there. I am so thrilled that he had a solid excursion out!
It looks like he just needed some solid rest yesterday, he ended up sleeping for five hours in the afternoon/evening.
Nana (Joe's mom) and Aunt Karen (Joe's sister) come this Saturday and will stay in Atlanta until Steven goes home. Wonderful.
