POST OP DAY 3

We had Physical Therapy this morning at the bedside. They came in and did range of motion exercises with his legs and feet. They wanted him to use his legs but he did not. They said that he was so spastic before that now it is the complete opposite and he has to learn that his legs are there. At the end of the therapy they sat his bed up all the way. He has to sit for 1 hour before afternoon therapy. This afternoon they will get him out of the bed into the wheelchair(stroller). Please continue to pray for Brodie.


This afternoon the physical therapist came in and was so postive. Brodie did great getting out of the bed into his wheelchair(stroller)! Then the rest of the day was spent saying RI RI! IMAGINE! He said that most of Brodie's cries would come from fear and not hurting but to just watch and see. Guess what he was right after Brodie could see that he could do it then he would just smile and had a great time getting up and out of the bed.

Christie--

I didn't know you were updating the blog from St. Louis! I just checked it today. I'm so glad everything went well. I left you a voicemail a few days ago. I'm still praying for you guys--keep updating! It's great to see Brodie smiling.
