Johnny,

Craig got you up on a standing frame today. It supports your legs and knees and they take you from a sitting position to a standing. The first time they did it, your blood pressure dropped but the last two times, it didn't drop as much. Your body has to get used to the up and down motion before your BP will stabilize and not change at all. These are the things that we all take for granted!

You are officially off the feeding tube...you still have it but your not being fed continuously. You'll be given what mom calls gravity feeding three times a day, breakfast-lunch-dinner. This will help your brain tell you when you are hungry and it will prepare you stomach for larger amounts of food rather then a continuous drip. This is a good thing!

Love you!! xo Jen
