Walking and Eating

Broc had a great night with no pain meds.

This morning OT came in to consult with us and look at his legs. He did a few exercises with Broc to see how much strength he has in his legs.

We then sat on the edge of the bed and then left the room.He was so proud of himself walking.He first limped a bit and then he put his foot flat.

His ankle is rolling really badly cause he is compensating while walking. He is going to recommend that Broc has outpatient OT to rebuild the muscle that he has lost over the year in his right leg. His tendon is very tight behind his knee too and needs to be stretched.

Broc had a really good day.He took a long nap after his OT and lunch.He was so tired.He said to me I think today should be a day of resting. It was so sweet.

He ate a grilled cheese sandwhich and strawberries for lunch.He was so eager to eat and then his tummy started to get full very quickly as its not used to food.

We went down to the conference room to get pizza for dinner.Buddy only ate 2 bites of dinner.

After dinner we had some more visitors and a little friend to play cars and trucks with. Broc was so happy to have little visitors that we had to put him back in bed cause all he wanted to do was run around and jump. Two fo the things he may not do. I dont think I have to worry about him being active I think I am going to worry about keep him from being active.

Once they left 2 more visitors came in and then it was time for the Drs to round. They said if we have a good night tonight then we are all systems go for heading home tom.

Broc and I are so happy. We also had a visit from the Michigan Athletes. Broc and Mark each got a hat signed by them and we had a pic taken too.

The whole time Broc was in pre-op on Wed he was asking for cake, so his Buddy Greg bought him some delicious cupacake covered in chocolate yesterday evening.Here is a pic of him trying to eat it.

Later that evening we had a thunderstorm and a wonderful rainbow such a lovely way to end out stay here.

After the thunderstorm we had a visit from some of the Michigan Athletes.They gave out hats and Broc took one for his Buddy too.They also signed Brocs get well board and we had a picture taken with them.

Broc was so shy he never said a word and hid under his blankets the whole time.

We are waiting for the Drs to round and then we should be out of here by this afternoon.

Mark and I want to thank everyone for all the love and support that was shown to us while were were in Michigan.

We have made life long friends here and look forard to see you all again when we come back down for follow-up appointments.
