We are making slow progress. Tim can transfer in and out of a reclining wheelchair with two people helping him. It is hard. Just to get him up to the bathroom takes an hour. First we have to fit all of his braces on, get the bed it just the right position, use a slide board, and two people to assist. He can tolerate being up for a couple of hours but then he gets really sore. For my medical friends out there he is on some serious pain medication. MS Contin, Vicodin, Robaxin, Valium. We have never, ever needed this much medicine for pain. The spasms are getting less but when they hit it is bad.
We did receive word back from Montreal. The back surgeon will be in tomorrow and review all the films that we sent. Dr. Fassier, the surgeon that has done Tim's arms and legs, is out of town this week but his nurse is aware and knows that Dr. Fassier will address it as soon as he is back in town. Progress!!!
Thanks for all the prayers! God is so good. Pray for patience. Pray that the pain continues to lessen.
