Happy to report Steven seemed to have a better night. They came to do his epidural at 11am and he seemed better afterwards.They had not started the pump on the epidural as of the time we left but they gave him a shot through the epidural and Steven feels it is working. This should make it possible for Steven to feel less pain but be more alert. He had to sit up and bend over for the epidural which wasn't ideal but it was good for him to move.
Prior to the epidural Steven did some work with the physiotherapist. She was fantastic. He was moving his arms up and down and she worked on his breathing and assisted him with coughing to help clear his lungs. He needs to work on breathing deeper.
When we left this afternoon Steven was being moved from the ICU to a high observation unit on the floor he will be staying on for the next few weeks.Overall a good start to the day as we are progressing forward.
Talk soon.

What a positive 'update' So good to hear Steven is improving so well. "baby-steps" Sounds like he has been given some relief from his pain.That is such good news. Now he will be able to concentrate on getting stronger.My love and thoughts are with all of you there in Calgary as you support each other through this very challenging time. So glad you have your mom with you to give you love and support and a hand with James. I know that would be a real hard job for her lol! So happy James' little cousin has arrived safely and is bringing joy to her parents and grandparents Love Aunty Donna
