Today Jeremy got out of bed and sat up in a chair! It was very, very tiring, especially after having done his physical therapy exercises and a very restless night. However, this was a huge improvement over yesterday afternoon's attempt at standing. He is still experiencing some dizziness when sitting upright or standing. He has good range of movement in both his elbow and leg. He doesn't have full usage of his right hand, however. This is due to the soft tissue damage in his elbow. His hand and fingers can move through their full range but only when manipulated - not on their own strength. His pain level is fairly low considering what he went through until he does therapy and then the pain level goes up and he gets very tired. Exhaustion is a major factor right now along with appetite and sleep.
Moni had a follow up visit with the orthopedic surgeon today. Both her collar bone and knee cap fractures are lined up well and headed for a good recovery. She needs to continue to keep her knee straight all the time.
Things to pray for:
- Pain control
- Quick recovery
- A good appetite
- Quality sleep
- For all the legal and insurance wrinkles to get ironed out quickly
- Encouragement
