Kaden is loving being home. He is more comfortable in his own bed and has figured out how to move his weight and pívot on one foot to get into his wheelchair on his own sometimes (with someone spotting him).
IF the chair could support his really long leg, he could probably move about on his own. (They had 2 nurses use two wheelchairs facing each other to get him out of the hospital!) But he is able to move from his room to the living room if someone carries his leg. (: (especially to help around the tight turn from room to hallway where his leg is lifted high and/or wide).
He comes to the table for meals. He can sit on the couch that they said would be too low. Almost everything he can do is because he was working out a ton before the accident and has super strong muscles wherever muscles are not damaged. So praise the Lord for his hard work and discipline before the accident.
Prayer requests: eventually, if we ever want to leave the house, we do need equipment that can handle his long leg. Constant but not crazy pain in the L wrist. No feeling in both thumbs (though he can move both). No grip with left hand (he was left handed). Healing of knee: bones, tendons, etc
As caretaking is a more than full time job, we are so blessed to have a meal train set up for dinners. If you’ve asked to bring us a meal, please sign up here: https://mealtrain.com/zk0wle
The long road ahead is made easier by your encouragement and support. We do not take all the prayers and texts of encouragement for granted. We feel so loved and cared for and encouraged by those of you who serve us as the visible hands and feet of our Savior caring tenderly for us in this tough situation. “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed.” Thank you all for keeping us from being crushed by constantly showing us the love of the Savior.
