We slept last night

Much better night - we all got sleep last night.  Alex had a great day yesterday we were able to manage his pain a lot better and he did great.  He had 2 Doctors appointments one was his first out patient PT.  One of the things they had him do was sit on a bench, stand up, walk to a line on the floor, turn around, walk back to the bench and sit down.  He was able to accomplish this task and did it in 41 seconds.  It was great to see!!!  I'm so proud of his improvement (since a month ago he wasn't able to sit on his own).  We were told that a "normal" time is 8 seconds, so it will be great to see his progress over the next month(s).

Today is Friday -YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm ready for the weekend.  Alex has 4, yes 4, Doctors appointments today.  Good thing Grandma and Grandpa are here to help.
I was so happy last night to have everyone home. Thanks for all the neighbors that visited, we live in a great place!  Theres no place like home (thats for all my KC friends)!

  1. Looks like the little brothers are tormenting him just like normal! I'm glad to see him at home, not in a hospital, not in the cemetery! Please keep this blog up with what is happening. It helps us so much to know that they are doing better! Also, is Alex able to give us some insights or some words of his own on here? that would be terrific!
