Jeremy in recovery mode...

Jeremy slept pretty much all day from Wednesday to Saturday. He slept til 11am on Sunday but woke up for the day. He tolerated a trip to Reasor's and actually enjoyed the car ride. He also started to crawl around more. Monday when I was getting ready to go to work, he would not stay on the bed, he crawled off of it, I would put him back on and he crawled down. His new HTS started on Monday, Kelly, J has responded well to her. Tuesday he had his first PT session with our new herapist Amanda, when I got home he wanted to stand so I held his hands and he stood, he then tested the waters and walked around the couch holding on. Amanda got him to work really hard. He will get PT twice a week for 45-60 minutes. Jeremy was really tired when the session was over. When I got home, we went to pick up his new glasses, then a trip to Wal-mart to purchase a few needed items. He did well and enjoyed the trip. When we got home he rested for a while and then I took him walking in the stroller he really enjoyed that and it was such a cool, awesome evening.

Today we went to see Dr. Cyrus, he said his incision looked great and Jeremy looked great. He wanted him to stand, so he made him stand and walk from him to me as we held on to him. His little legs are so skinny, he has lost muscle tone and that is what we have to rebuild. They delivered his wheelchair today so he will have that to help get him around. PT will start working to build them legs and get him to walking.

Jeremy gets to go back to school tomorrow for 1/2 day and I think he is ready. He will continue 1/2 days in the afternoon and ride the bus home. Next week he start Thursday and Friday full days. The day after Labor day he should be ready to start full time. He is staying awake through the day, being alert, happy and I think getting back to his routine will help him. The first couple of days will be a tough transition, and he will be tired when he gets home. He will adapt.
