Well due to the new snowfall we cancelled our postop appointment since it was up in Mason Ohio. It is rescheduled for Monday evening and in Cincinnati so that is closer for us anyway. Gideon is doing great as far as the pain is concerned. He hasn't had any pain medication for over 3 days now and he is sleeping great. His biggest complaints are that he is hot and sweaty and itching all over. We try to keep him as clean as possible with sponge baths daily and rubbing him down as far as we can reach in the cast. Also just scratching his head feels so good for him. He is bored too. The kids are home today due to snow so he has some entertainment today. They push him all over in the wheelchair and play wii a lot. Praying for the next several weeks to go quickly and for good healing of his bones. Praying he is able to stand straighter when these casts come off and get right back into therapy. Praising God for all he has done for this precious child--he is truly a mighty warrior to me!
