Overall, he had a good day. His pain is being controlled fairly well. We played a few things in the evenng on his bed. The last hour before time for another dose of medicine is somewhat hard, but he is making it.
The highlight of his day, by far, was being able to talk to Kaylee on Face Time. That is a great use of technology if there ever was one. She was thrilled to see her big brother, and Keenan asked off and on all day if he could talk to Sissy. So, a BIG thanks to Heather for allowing us to keep in touch this way. It has meant so much to all of usI have a little video from Keenan.
So, the highlight on Wednesday happened when I had to help Keenan use the bedside urinal. Brad was holding the "jug" and it was my job to pull up one leg just a bit. For the first time EVER, it took no effort to try to separate his legs. Before surgery he was so stiff and tight that it took a bit of strength to pull them apart and hold them that way, without the spasticity taking over and pulling the legs back together.
IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a moment.
Prayer request: rest, tolerable pain level and patience for the rest of the day and tonight. He can't get out of bed until tomorrow, and while he doesn't know how hard that is going to be, I think it be a good thing for him to be able to move.
Blessings,
Tammy

This little man's strength is truly amazing! Keenan has taught me (and I'm sure many others) that there is no call for 'sweating the small stuff' when someone yet so small himself can handle all the huge stuff that's come with his life! Keenan, you truly are an inspiration to me.
Praise God for all of his improvements and we CAN'T WAIT to see him back here with us!
YEA FOR KEENER-WEENER!!!
Aunt Meg and Uncle E
see Aunt Megs if Kee can handle big pain....so can you so tell Uncle E it's time for another Finley baby to come along! :) Sorry, had to piggy back that on!
So happy that you are already seeing BIG results....and we'll pray often that as he starts moving that the results will continue to come! and that the soreness & pain will subside quickly! I'm teary eyed as I read the glimpse that you guys have begun to see @ the answer to prayer! Praise the Lord! To God Be the Glory! Love ya, E
I love the progress already!! I was just visiting with Christy this evening about how neat it will be for him when he realizes the strength and mobility he has gained.
So glad that face time worked for us. It was priceless to see the kiddos interact. Ever since the first time Kaylee grabs my phone and says, "See Kee Kee?" It definitely helped her to get to see her family!
Praying for rest and continued progress. Keep it up Kee! You're such a trooper. I'm so proud of you!!!
Love you all!
Heather
