KEV'S DOING GREAT
Well, it's been a week since the surgery and we're on the road to recovery!!! Kev had some nasty days last week. Other than the regular yuck of the whole ordeal, he had a couple of other bumps in the road that made it a very rough week. They kicked him out on Friday afternoon, and I became "Nurse Jan". WOW!! Between having his legs in the motion machine three times a day, and two therapys a day, and putting the ice water flow tube thing on his knees a couple of times a day, I'm staying busy. But he's making such great progress!! He's working really hard and today went for his first out-patient therapy. He got lots of encouragement and lots of praise. Troy told him that he's way ahead of where he would have expected him to be just one week out of surgery. He can walk 200 feet and can bend his knee back to 110 degrees. That's absolutely amazing to me!!! He's still on pain medicine, and lots of things are still not do-able on his own, but he is definitely on the way. I am so proud of him!!! Thanks for all your prayers. He has said that he knows he couldn't have made it through without God's strength. (He wants me to get some pictures and post them soon)
