Luke had a great day! He was a little more tired and cuddly than usual, but was pretty much his normal self all day. His appetite is the same or a little better than before - hopefully he will keep it up and will start to eat more and put on some weight.
The boys started 3 of their 4 therapies last week (physical, speech and occupational). They will eventually start developmental therapy, but for now they get "playtime" on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The therapists come to the house, which makes it much easier on us.
We expected Luke's surgery to prevent him from therapy until at least next week. He was in such a good mood today that we decided to give it a try. Luke did great and was able to do a lot! We saw all three therapists today, and the only thing Luke did not do was the physical therapy. That mostly involves working with the legs to do standing and crawling exercises - a little too much for his first day after surgery and not worth pushing him too much. He did fine with everything else and will probably be back to normal next week.
He has a low-grade fever, which is normal, and has only needed Tylenol and Motrin (alternating). He can take a shower, but not a bath for 5 days, so we will stay away from the pool this weekend.
