Day 61 - Kicking Back

Luke had a relaxing day today with no therapies scheduled. So we hung out together watching college bowl games, playing games on the Wii and video visiting with family back home on the computer.

Luke continues to get stronger and adapting to his modified mobility. Soon he will be starting on the compression sleeve on his leg to get it prepared for a prosthesis. His left arm still has no mobility. He may be getting some sensation to touch in the upper part of his arm, but that is negligible. He is getting pain sensations in his finger tips and elbow, which could be a good sign, but could also be phantom pain. We won't know for sure what the extent of the damage to the brachial plexis is for two more weeks when we see the neuro surgeons.

Luke remains in great spirits and continues to whoop up on me on the Wii.

It good to see that you're able to spend some "fun time" with Luke and that he's able to have some time to enjoy. Prayers continue for healing.
