Forrest had a great graduation ceremony yesterday and had a terrific first day living with us at the apartment! He's officially no longer an in-patient, after 9 weeks of living in hospitals! It's been incredibly busy but it is great having him with us! We went to the botanical gardens today and he walked for periods of time before resting in his wheelchair we have on loan for long outings. Peyton (Forrest's good friend who was with him on the day of the accident) came down for his discharge. We have to keep tonights post brief because we're getting him in bed(behind schedule), but tomorrow will be more in depth! The journey's not over, but this is definitely an amazing next step.
