We have been home for 5 days and it has been both relaxing and stressful. Monday morning(July 19th) we called our insurance company to try to figure out where we could go to have Braden work with a physical therapist. The closest place is about 45-60 minutes away and both Ian and I were worried because of Braden's comfort or lack thereof in the car for long periods of time. So we worked through the process of getting referrals, etc from Braden's pediatrician and finally got an appointment for today(July 21st) at 4pm for physical therapy. Ian and I have been diligently working with Braden on stretching, flexing and massaging his legs and walking with our assistance. Other than that we have been relaxing and spending alot of time watching movies and cartoons.
Braden continues to gain strength and his appetite is slowly returning. I just wish he could walk because that is what is truly holding him back. I know it will come but I truly want him to be able to enjoy what is left of his summer. It has been 2 weeks today since his surgery and Ian and I are back to work. Ian returned to work yesterday and will be working Tues-Fri 10 hour days and I will be working at the hospital Fri, Sat and Sun 7p-7a. This will allow both Ian and I to be home with Braden all the time.
Continued prayers would be appreciated and once again, Thank you all who have been such amazing support to us throughtout this difficult time in our lives.
