Timothy April 2012


Timothy update
Still having ups and downs, but overall doing well. Sleeping better at night.
It has been a month now. It was a big surgery and still painful. It is normal to be on drugs for a normal pectus surgery 1 month or longer, so it might be awhile for him. He is making progress, but somedays it seems slow. He is sleeping longer at night and I think that is helping him heal. His bar is slipping and the doctors are keeping an eye on it and we are praying that it doesn't get worse. It will be a long recovery and I think the more normal things he does the better. It is frustrating for all of us at times, but he is making good progress.

It has been six weeks now.  I think we are finally making some progress with the pain.  He has gone to a few classes at school, going to church and swimming some and today we went on a bike ride.  We still like to have someone with him, because he is on drugs, but doing more things is making him very happy.  It has been a good day.  He is also sleeping 6-8 hrs and not in terrible pain when he wakes.  Great progress and hoping it continues to get better.  We are very thankful for the family and friends that have supported us through this hard time.  It is great to be loved and we can really feel the help from your prayers in our behalf.
