Day 5: Daniel's first transfers into a wheelchair

Someday, Daniel will look back on these videos and recall how difficult these very first transfers into a wheelchair were.  Only 5 days after his accident, these videos show how he needed two people to help him sit up and get into the chair for the first time.  You can tell that he doesn't know how to navigate his new body yet.   We're now on Day 25, and he still doesn't.  But he's learning, and he's making incredible progress!!  

 
 

Day 5 after his accident, still at North Memorial Hospital, Daniel's amazing physical therapist Paul and nurse Nell helped Daniel out of bed and into a wheelchair for the first time.  

 
 


After his first physical therapy session, Paul helped him back into his wheelchair. Quite the struggle initially...
