This morning was productive with regular morning routines and a visit from Shannon the physiotherapist. With the help of a cane, Marie walked all the way around the unit. It tired her out but she did so awesome!!! Shannon says that Marie can go for small walks as frequently as she would like with accompaniment, and she can go outside soon in a wheelchair. Outside is not a walkable distance as of yet because we are deep in the abyss of the hospital.
Marie's spirits are good. She's cracking jokes with the nurses and her new roomies.

Oh, yes... by the way... Marie knows about this blog, and all of you out there cheering her on... She refers to us all affectionately as her "fan club". When the nurses offer to so something for her, she just says to them, not to worry about it, that she'll just get someone from the "fan club" to take care of it :)
