Well we took Zachary in for his wound care and we are happy to report that they have taken him off of the wound vac. It should be a couple of more weeks before it closes up completely......but considering that his wound was once 12 inches long and 5 inches wide we are happy about that. He was bummed out when they told him that he should not do abdominal exercises for at least 2 years. He was hoping that he could get right to work on his "six-pack".
He did visit his orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday and was told that it will be another 4 weeks before he can put pressure on his pelvis. He was hoping that he could start doing a little more but he is not creating new bone as quickly as he needs to. His left arm is healing very well, all of the restrictions that he has had for it have been removed.
He is making great progress.

i can't believe how well he is doing. i knew his psyche would be ahead of his body during this recovery!!! probably a healthy, but frustrating way to be.
