Getting our routine down

Connor is doing great with his physical therapy. He is able to lift his leg by himself and can bend his knee while laying on his tummy. All of his range of motions with ankle hip knee is better than expected. Our one HUGE major hiccup is Connor has nerve pain in the bottom of his foot. His doctor checked it out yesterday and our plan of action now is to hold the pin turning until atleast Friday and to start a medicine called Neurontin. We will reevaluate at PT on Friday with his nurse Jill. As my understanding goes it may take a couple doses if this medicine to work, he was still up a few times last night with the pain. Other than this one issue things continue to go great for him. He rarely complains if his leg hurting just his foot. He is up and walking all over the place but still gets very tired after each stretching or PT session. 

Connor had a friend from school stop by Tuesday after school. Kaleb and his mom brought a care package from his class!! The outpouring love and support and friendship from his class is amazing! Kalebs mom is also the room mom for Connors class and she and the class are planning a party for when he returns!! We are so thankful and blessed to have so many who care and think of Connor. Connor is going to go to school and visit tomorrow before heading off to PT. 
Missing from this picture is a TMNT but he also got games and movies and play dough cookies and even a few gift cards for some McDonalds and Bread Co! Thank you Erica so much for putting this together!

As for the rest of the house Brenden came down with Strep the other day. He's on medicine and just returned to school today. And this morning Macie woke up saying "my mouth hurts my mouth hurts." She was also up all night and was unable to sleep unless I was next to her. It was a very long night.

We are just taking things one day at a time!
