Another good day. He ate real food! With no problems!
He slowed down the amount of walking yesterday, having realized how much he had overdone it for the previous 3 days. So he walked 5-6 times but not as far as before. Today we did the same. Taking it easy.
I think the key is he is learning patience with himself. The doctors are all cautioning him to be patient. He has a long recovery still to go.
One thing I am watching is a drain spot. The doctors are not concerned but it's still oozing some, so we are changing that dressing still. I've been thrilled that the nurses have let me help more. It has made me feel more prepared for when he does come home and it's all on me.
The next 10 weeks will probably still be tough! He's going to have to have a ton of help. And I'm sure I will not be the best nurse but we will get through it.
Sorry for the super late update but it was busy with lots of people in and out, shower, walk, and then the Band's Send Off to state! Go Band!
