Updates

We have been busy!  Wyatt’s recovery has been a roller coaster of highs and lows.  We are very pleased with his back and he even grew a few inches!!! He is experiencing very little pain from his back.  Most of the pain is in his neck and left arm.  The pain levels range from 5-10.  We have been experimenting with a combination of over the counter medications to keep the pain to a minimum.  We think the Ibuprofen is irritating his digestive track causing bleeding so we are trying other combinations of pain relievers. Wyatt’s left arm and hand has very little feeling and he can’t lift his arm.  This is concerning since we are almost a month post op.  This morning Wyatt had bloodwork and a CT scan and a MRI scheduled in the near future to determine the cause.  So more to come on that.  Wyatt is working hard to recover by going to PT and OT three times a week for two hours.  He has good days and bad days but he is making progress.  
Wyatt’s Pop Pop had a stroke on Easter, so they were both at the same hospital at the same time.   Wyatt’s sister is graduating high school and we are trying to balance the magic of end of the year senior school events with taking care of Wyatt and his Pop Pop.  It’s a lot to handle, but we have an awesome support system from family and friends.   We appreciate all the check ins and notes to Wyatt.  Keeping an eye on mental health while recovering from a major surgery is important and your kindness and support definitely are a major contributing factor. Thank you ❤️
