Mikey update

Mike continues to make improvements during his therapy sessions. Today he used his removable cast for a good part of the day but become very frustrated during meals while trying to eat using just his left hand. He does not have much control or strength in that hand, so eating was a challange. I am sure that he will continue to improve, but it can be tough to see him struggle with something that was once so easy.

Yesterday Mike developed a twitch in his left hand. He had the same twitch right after his surgery, but it went away after a day or so. Well now it is back. I think it is because they have weened him off the steroid he was taking, but tomorrow he is going to get an EEG to rule out any type of seizure. Probably a wasted test, but I remember thinking the same thing before his first MRI. Better to have it checked out. It doesn't bother him at all and will most likely go away as his neck and spinal cord heal.

Please continue to pray for Mikey to have the patience to put up with all the stuff his therapists have him do. They are working him hard, but they have produced some incredible result in the other kids that are here.
