Goal: No Wheelchair

Tate is half-way through his steroid pulse, and misery has set in. We expect him to be feeling better when he wakes up Wednesday. That’s the timeline we have come to expect. It’s hard to see him suffering, but this time is a little different. A little better. Tate decided that he is going to try to make it through this week without using his wheelchair. So far, so good!

Little by little we see Tate’s strength returning, even on steroid weeks. He still spends most of his time in bed, but he is making an effort to walk around a few times every day, leaving the wheelchair in his room.

Scott came to visit Tate last night. It looks like exhausted Tate was in good company.

We’re hoping for an uneventful weekend. We know Tate has a few difficult days ahead before he starts to feel better.
