Yesterday was just a fairly slow day, J was in recovery mode. He would sleep off and on, it was a game to keep his pain under control and blood pressure from being too low. The circulation in his legs is better today and they can feel his pulse, yesterday they had to use pulse finder. He moves his toes when tickled or pinched but still no leg movement. This morning he got a bath, and smelled so good, got his hair washed and baby lotion. He is moving himself around the bed, and is more feisty. They are in the process of weaning him off of his blood pressure meds and his blood pressure remains stable. They are lowering one pain meds. Dr. Dan came by this afternoon, showed me what he was speaking about the screw that was in the wrong place. He wrote orders for PT to get him up, in his back brace and J tolerated sitting up for over 35 minutes, think he might have done longer so that was good and his BP was stable. They put him back in bed and he literally passed out, he was exhausted. Dr. Dan ordered an MRI for tomorrow and wants to compare it to the one we did last year. J was given 3 pints of blood during surgery, which is lot but he's not had anymore and his blood work is looking good.
Continue to pray for J to recovery, continue to maintain his blood pressure and for leg health to return and him start working them legs.
