Brynnik's first EZ Ride without his IV Pole

Yesterday afternoon, the nurses took Brynnik off his IV Pole for a few hours, and it was the first time Brynnik was able to experience walking without being attached to anything. It was a true moment of freedom for him. Darrell and I were so happy to be there to experience him slowly start walking around, then jumping around without having to drag his heavy IV Pole full of tubes, wires, cords, bags and feeds around behind him.

He then go onto his EZ Ride bike and took off for several laps around the D6 Wing at Children’s Hospital.  He was going so fast we had to get him to slow down a little.

My favorite part was when he was seeking up behind the nurses at the nurse’s station and surprising them. He was able to go into “stealth mode” and then started humming the JAWs attack music as he got closer to them.

SO much laughter, so many smiles, it truly was a remarkable moment for Brynnik.
