Still waiting for transfer to Victoria for rehab.  If nothing has happened by the time we reach a week of waiting I am going to see about nagging.  The squeeky wheel gets the grease!  Yesterday James got to try the parallel  bars for walking.  Rick was right there for help and correction and had to help with mostly verbal instruction and and correction  quite a bit,  but James did the work.  He did awesome!  Before bed I had him standing and sitting at the edge of his bed quite a bit too. 

When the nurse came on shift last night she popped in to see James and myself.  She had picked up a gift for James!  She is going off shift for 4 days and wanted to get it to him in case we were gone when she came back.  It was so sweet. He reached into the bag and pulled it out on his own. She got him a series of little stuffed animals and a stuffed flower.  She wrote a note to explain the significance of them.  The flower is because a flower blooms year after year and so will James.  The lion is for bravery,  The donkey for stubborness ( which will take him a long way in rehab) and the giraffe to remind him to keep his head up ( physically and emotionally).  Those are definetely going to Victoria with him!
