Working hard

Today Dad sat up twice dangling his legs with his bed in the chair position. The first time he was up over half an hour, the second time shorter and now he is worn out. His nurse says maybe later tonight he will sit once more. Tomorrow he will get to move around even more. He has spent most of the day without oxygen, only needing it during deep sleep. He is amazed by how hard it is simply to sit up. He has definitely been on better spirits today, even making occasional jokes. It will be a long road back to normal (months) but even the biggest adventure starts with the first step.
