It is Friday!!!!!!

Well he made it to Friday.  The big day to get out of bed!!!!! Yea.  He slept very well last night, which was a great thing.  Then, this morning, when we told him he was able to get out of bed, he told us he was not ready yet.  What a goof!!!!

Physical therapy came and showed us how to move Keenan from bed to wheelchair.  Keenan did not like sitting up, but he pushed through it.  I am sure it not only hurt his back, but muscles that have been tight and tense his whole life are not anymore, and I bet that is odd and perhaps even scary to him.  I still marvel at how easily his legs move.  It is surreal to us.  You should see him move his feet!!!!  They move much like ours now.  I just can't believe it!!!!!  :-)

He wanted to give all of you a message this morning, so hope you enjoy.

Keenan is putting the blame for his procedure on Brad right now.  We expected this and Brad just smiles and shakes his head.  What an awesome day it will be when Keenan realizes what this surgery has given him.  How cool that will be!!!!

Mr. Keenan is a happy camper right now.  He is sitting upright in bed playing Wii.  That is the perfect scenario for our little guy.  He can move now as he tolerates it within the bed. 

Lunch time:  Hummus and pita chips  (Hey, it is protein.) 

The rest of his day looks like this...
1st PT visit at 2:00.  I am sure this will involve much complaining and some tears.  :-(

We will encourage movement for him so he won't be as stiff.  He will also be encouraged to start eating more. 

I will try to write again this evening if he is restful and sleepy.

Blessings from St. Louis.
