Kaden is having a good day. Pain levels have been significantly lower today. Obviously, there is still a significant amount of pain, but it’s more tolerable today.
Physical therapy began today. They had a goal to get Kaden out of the hospital bed and sit in a chair, and that was accomplished. His left leg is in an immobilizer and his left foot is in a boot and he cannot put any weight on the left so it is a challenge to negotiate moving around.
He’s eating a ton (yay!) and we are waiting for indications that his digestive system is working well.
He can feel and wiggle all his toes and fingers. Yay! But they recommend he wear these foam blocks on other arms post-surgery to help with swelling and positioning. These are super uncomfortable so he is wearing them sometimes but taking breaks as needed from the pressure.
Prayer: praise the Lord for progress! Praise the Lord for pain management. Praise the Lord that his skin abrasions are healing. Praise the Lord he was able to sit in a chair today! Pray for continued ability to wear the foam blocks that are supposed to be helpful, but are painful. Pray as he continues to learn to move his body to do normal things like eat and sleep and use the restroom.
