Baby Steps

Greg is doing pretty well after his hip resurfacing operation yesterday. Dr. Volatile said that the x-rays looked great and he expects a good recovery. Day 2 however has been rough! We have been warned that this would happen, but the reality is pretty unpleasant: lots of pain, can't get comfortable, etc. However, Greg has been so brave and willing to do whatever it takes. The nurses got him up, dressed, and in a special recliner early this morning. He got light-headed after taking a few steps, but it was still progress.

While one PT (Sharon) would gently pull on his right leg, the other (Rolanda) would gently push and before you knew it he was walking. They speculate that his right leg is weak because he has been limping on it for so long. He went to group therapy this morning and then had another round of individual therapy this afternoon.

Thank you to everyone who has visited or called. People came and prayed over him, a busy doctor friend brought me lunch, a sweet sister showed up with warm biscuits early this morning. Wow. Our family has been wonderful - Jake, Beth, Matt. Tyson's dad (Tim) is visiting with him right now.

We expect him to come home on Friday, so please pray for healing, pain management and progress!
