Friday Afternoon

Jadon’s Story: More great news 🙂

I am still doing really well. I’m eating and drinking. Since I’m doing this they turned my IV liquids down. I’m taking my pain medicine by mouth only and doing great with that. They were able to take one of my drainage tubes out this morning. I didn’t like it to much but it feels much better now that it is out. The plan is to take the second drainage tube out in two days. They will then do a CT scan Monday or Tuesday to see if the circulation has picked back up. If it has I will not need a shunt. So please pray my circulation picks back up. I do not have to wear the gauze on my head anymore. This makes me very happy. You know I do not like hats anyway and the gauze was bothering me. I had an excellent PT session this morning. I picked my head all the way up two times. I also moved my right arm. They put ice on my arm to help stimulate the muscles and sure enough I moved my right elbow up. Praise God!!!! I’m not moving it all around but since I did move it this morning we know that it will come. I have minimal swelling and I’m slowly getting my strength back. I’m leaving you a picture of me that we took today. I wanted everyone to see how GREAT I look!!!! Keep praying we still have a long way to go. Oh and I have been seizure free for 3 days now!!!!!!!! God is Great!!!!
