POrtland day 11, Surgery Day 7

Sierra is so awesome. She is now working on getting up from bed and into a wheelchair, then standing and walking with her walker. She did so well in the hallway this morning, and the PT said that she has graduated from physical therapy here, and will just need to continue working on these things until we go home. Which should be Saturday, YAY! She is so happy to be able to move around a bit, though it does give her a good amount of pain, she is learning how to move her own body rather than rely on someone to move her, and that helps her to be able to control the pain. She is actually wanting to work harder than the physical therapists want her to, because if she does too much she could end up with swelling, so we are having to reign her in a bit. She is just so proud of herself when she gets going, that she doesn't want to stop. I can't wait until we get back home and I can post a ton of pictures of her, she is so happy, even with all that is going on. There are going to be a bunch of photo posts to catch everyone up on our time here in Portland.
