Trying to return to normal.......

but it's going to take some time.

Laying flat on your back for a week is not much fun, but he's doing the best he can. Five more weeks to go. There is really no other position other than slightly tilted to the side with pillows propped up on the side. He has worked up to 40 minutes twice a day in a tilted wheelchair which does give him a little variation in position, but the transitioning from bed to chair is a little painful thus far.

On Wednesday we'll be able to take the soft cast off his leg. He has just begun to complain about it saying it feels like a "rock" and that his leg is being "bbq'd" (barbequed) :-)

He has consistently run a fever since he's been home. Today was the first day it was under 100 deg. The fever has been a little worrisome but according to the doctor not completely unexpected.

All things considered, he's being a trooper through all of it. He's had some company and that has helped him. He's always trying to recruit someone to play Nintendo or Playstation for him - a good distraction from his circumstances.

I'm looking forward to seeing him tall and straight in his new wheelchair!
