Mike’s heart monitor and catheter were removed today

11-8-07 @9:00/PM – Mike’s heart monitor and catheter were removed today as his physical health continues to improve. During his physical therapy session, the Physical Therapist opened Mike’s hand and told Mike to catch the ball that she was about to drop and he did. She then asked him to release it and he did. They sat Mike on the edge of the bed for a few minutes and then stood him straight up to allow his feet and legs to bear the weight of his body. These are all great steps in the right direction.
