Post-Op Appointment

Our appointment with Dr. Woolley went great yesterday! Bryce was so glad to be out of the house and out in the world again. Dr. Woolley said Bryce's breathing sounds great and that both incisions have healed up perfectly. The infection in the ear has cleared up and looks really good. I finally got to take a picture of Bryce with the famous Dr. Woolley. We also got to meet two of his nurses that have been so good to us over the last 7.5 months. I talk to them on the phone all the time, but haven't gotten to thank them in person. It was good to see them and for them to see Bryce. No one can believe that he had major surgery only 2 weeks ago. My mom and I wanted to go shopping in Birmingham after the appointment, but Bryce was worn out so we came on home.

Bryce is 90% back to his old self. His legs are still pretty weak. It takes a while for him to pull up, but once he does, watch out! He is cruising on the furniture and using his push toy to walk again. It is amazing how far he has come in the last week. One week ago today, he was just laying there in the PICU staring at us and not moving or showing any emotion. Today he is walking, giggling, and playing peek-a-boo!

Oh yeah, Dr. Woolley wants to wait 3 months for the next scope, so we are tentatively scheduled for March 19th. Lets all hope we can stay away until then!!!!
