Just wanted to hop on and let everyone know how things are going. Jack is doing great. He never had any pain, so I think the pin sites are healing well.
He was really resisting trying any walking on Friday and Saturday. Sunday, we were at my parents house and he was playing with an old cane of my grandfather. I taught him how to use the cane and he was walking around with it. I mentioned to him that he didn't really need the cane, he was putting all his weight on his foot anyway. That was all the encouragement he needed....he took off walking and has been doing great since. He's trying really hard to not use his walker at home and in the classroom at school. His focus in therapy is increasing his strength and stamina. Once he gets the cast off and the brace on, his therapist can work on his gait. Speaking of the cast....he was supposed to wear it for 2 weeks, but with coordinating Jon's schedule with Dr. Kogan's schedule it will be on for 3 weeks. To be honest, I'm okay with it...the cast keeps that bone nice and protected!
So, that's all for now. It's still hard for us to believe that we made it to this point....but we did!!!!
