Thanks to everyone who has been so patient throughout this ordeal. I should have updated the blog sooner, but it's been exhausting keeping up with work and trips to the hospital. I should also mention that Christa has really been a trooper all along. She's been getting up early every morning, getting Alyssa ready and taking her to daycare, and then driving to the hospital and helping get Nathan stronger each day. I know it's important for me to keep a paycheck coming in (especially since it's the only one we have right now), but without her support I don't know what we'd all do.
Nathan's surgery was pushed back another week. It is tentatively scheduled for next Tuesday. The surgeon wants Nathan as strong as possible before he goes back into the OR. I think this will help him towards a faster recovery next time around.
His progress has been slow and steady. He has started to kneel up on his own, and has also started to try and stand. He isn't able to put much weight on his lower legs, but this will come in time. The physical therapist is trying to get Nathan to kneel, then crawl, then walk. He's doing great, but it takes a lot of will and determination (Christa) to get him doing the right things sometimes.
