Today the DR will work on Philip's incisions. I must say they look wonderful. We will be having a home nurse come to the house and also a special nurse to help him with learning to get up and down without twisting his back. He is not able to twist, or bend or sit straight up for 8 weeks. I know this will be hard on him but he will do what needs to be done.
Philip has healed as much as he is going to from the operation at this stage. There is really not much left to be done but wound care, bandage changes, meds, and hard core bed rest.
I have to share that my heart is hurt. It seems that the operating has not work as well as we had hoped. I am not going to say it did not work YET. I am holding onto hope and faith. I just am not sure what is going to happen next. There are some issues associated with this but I speak with the DR today and know more. Please pray we get clear answers. It seems like in many ways we took a BIG step back. But I am holding onto the idea that sometimes you have to go backwards to get that head start running..Corny I know..but for me it works today....
Later today I am going to update on some info I have on the transfer to the other hospital. There are some hurdles that we have to get there . Both finical and medical .
I noticed this weekend that I was feeling quite anxious about everything. I usually do not have anxiety and to be honest it stinks. Can wear a person down. I logged on and spent some time reading my blog and it just reminded me that I am so not alone.
And on those days where I feel weak or worn down..there is a team of you storm heavens gates on Philip's behalf...I think the saying is true..It does take a village and I have the best...all of you..

Hope things get better quickly. 8 weeks is a long time to have to lie down, but in the end hopefully it will all be worth it!
Sending an abundance of prayers, prayers for Philip, prayers for his doctors, prayers for you, prayers for you finances, prayers for Jim and the family. Thank you for the update, I was getting worried...enjoy being an Auntie, it is fun!
Still praying hard, Amy! Just try to focus on the here and now...one day, one step at a time. Big hugs!
I'm thinking the body spends a great deal (if not most) of its' energy on recovery and healing. I really hope you start to see some improvements, as his body adjusts.
Stay strong!

My thoughts and prayers are with you...being positive is easier said than done, but I do believe it makes a difference. One day, one hour, one minute at a time sounds like a wonderful idea. Take care!
