He did well this past week. He is following the rules, mainly no stairs. He is doing great in PT. Practicing with a cane now. We are getting in a routine. We set an alarm on his phone for his afternoon meds. He texts me through the day or ill text him. Im still nervous, its a big adjustment. Overall considering at 6wks post op the drs were talking pulling the feeding tube to saying he'll never feed himself or dress himself...i think it's great!! We keep working together. Now he wants to get back to work to take care of his family. Who knows, maybe he can get there.

Thanks for following, i hope our story gives others some hope and strength.
