Septmeber 11, 2010

It has been three days since surgery and DJ is doing well. The first couple days he did a lot of sleeping while in the Pediatric ICU. Today he was transferred to his recovery room and was awake and smiling quite a bit. The doctors say he is doing great. He has had physical therapy the last two days and today got a bit irritated with his therapist...it was a little funny considering DJ is usually the sweetest little guy. He isn't able to speak to us but seems to be understanding us and will squeeze our finger if the answer is yes. He has also moved is right leg and that is wonderful since it has only been a few days since surgery. He is still my loving little man...he gives me hugs all the time. He has picked up rolling his eyes when he isn't pleased with something though. Our little man has even tried to talk...he still has a ways to go with that though. We know everything will take time but we know he is going to do great! We will try to update more often. Thank you all for your prayers!

  6. Wow, I'm speechless. Almost. My family will pray for yours. We have been down this road and still on it. Please see Ethan's site for encouragement. He has come a looooong way since surgery. From barely moving his fingers, to now assisted walking. He even talks now (not completely perfect but anything is awesome). If you want to talk to someone who has been there just write. Heck, I still need support and it helps to share your story with people who are going through it too. You are loved and your little guy will recover wonderfully with all this love!
