Payton Bruns Update Oct 22, 2019 HOMECOMING
Payton Bruns Update
10/22/19 (3:15pm)
For most high school students homecoming has come and gone this year, however for one special High School Senior, Homecoming will be on Saturday October 26th.
That's right, Payton Bruns will be coming home for good on Saturday October 26th. Payton has progressed so well so quickly while at Shirley Ryan Rehab Center that the staff is sending him home for good. Each day this kid works harder and harder and his spirit and determination are uplifting and inspirational.
Payton has started walking up and down stairs, forward and backward, four times. 24 stairs in all and today he spent time in the pool doing lots of leg and core strengthening. This will remain until his discharge on Saturday. Once he is home, Payton will begin Day Therapy three time a week at an out patient facility of Shirley Ryan. Payton will continue to push himself as he always does. This kid has grit.
Payton is looking forward to getting back to school in the near future and continuing on with his Senior year in HS. This will be a special homecoming for the Bruns Family Saturday. Please continue to keep Payton and his family in your thoughts and keep the positive mojo coming. Thank you all again for your continued support. Hard to believe where this young man was just 24 days ago.
