This just in this morning from Susan- Tessa up and walking! She's allowed to have partial weight bearing right away so she's good to go with crutches and walkers. Susan says she's still doing well with minimal pain, and they are trying to get rid of some tubes today.
Great to see her vertical again!
yay!!!! Go Jeanie! You are amazing!

Hey, Tessa, looking good! Do me a favor and find a bathrobe? And sing the song. And get video of it. Also, if you're asking for normalcy, I don't know why you're coming to me. I have a new plan for world-takeover.

That walker needs to be tricked out in THE WORST WAY. i hope it looks something like this in the future: http://25.media.tumblr.com/OlJ8ylM1DbonnpbvfA8sbJH6_400.jpg
Also, Hawkins will be SO PROUD of me for using a tumblr picture.
