Kenny Update--May 1 st

Kenny is doing great today. He slept as well as you can for being in the hospital last night and has taken a couple of long naps today. He has a small headache in the back of his head but is off of all pain medication today – he is his mother’s son. There is normal drainage of the surgical site with no sign of spinal fluid leakage. He ate a little bit this morning and ate better this afternoon. He sat in a chair for 2 ½ hours before the MRI and will be walking this evening.

An MRI was performed this morning but we have not had the official reading. The surgical team just finished cycling thru and they are VERY pleased with all of the results and his recovery. He is going to be moved from step down ICU to a regular room later today and they are now discussing when he can be released from the hospital. It’s beginning to look like we will be home in the next couple of days. Thank you everyone for your prayers and our miracle. 19 days ago the news was bleak and today it surpasses our wildest dreams.
