Fix Nathan

Started outpatient therapy

First let me start by saying Happy Birthday to Nathan who turned 25 on Monday the 15th. Wow! To think we nearly didn't have that birthday to celebrate.

We had dinner with my Dad and Henrie at Saya's, which is a local Japanese Thai restaurant that we've been going to since Nathan was about 4 years old. It was great as usual. Finished the evening off with ice cream cake, coffee and a few gifts. It was quiet but nice.

Busy week with doctors and therapy.
Monday was wound clinic day. They do great work there but never plan another appointment for after that appointment as they are never on time. Nathan had a 1:30 appointment and we didn't get in the room until after 3:00. Frustrating to say the least. However, the treatment he's been getting is helping a great deal. His back wound and his skin graft donor site are both looking great. Won't be much longer I'm sure until he can put that part behind him....

Wednesday he had his first outpatient Occupational & Physical Therapy appointments. Mostly an orientation day and then Friday they did a bunch more stuff. He's riding a bike and doing stretching exercises. Now if I could just get him to do more at home he'd see some real progress.

He also saw the urologist on Wednesday and he say all was good. That was great news.

Had a follow up appointment with his family doctor who makes all the referrals and issues the RX. He was pleased with Nathans progress.

Nathan is finding himself to be very stiff and sore after therapy. Think riding the bike might have something to do with that.

We've finally gotten rid of the last of the snow. It was awfully pretty but I'm glad it's gone as I'm really tired of being that cold all the time.

Hope all is well with you and that you have a wonderful weekend.

Love to all, The Mellon's
