Well, 2 days post-sugery and it couldn't be going better!  Cody's been calm, happy, a little groggy but in general very much himself.  And the best part is (so far) he doesn't even act like he knows the injuries are there!  So no bothering with them.  Thank you Lord!

Don cleaned the wounds for the first time yesterday while I held my breath - here's how they look under the bandages.  They're covered by steri-strips so you can't see much.  This is the one on his left chest - the device is just under where the bandages are. 

This is the incision in his neck.

He still has a stick neck and has trouble turning his head to his right - but can turn it to the left perfectly.  It doesn't seem like his leg bugs him at all.  Course he's still on codeine regularly.  It's amazing and wonderful to see him sleep so much.  It is SO good for him to get such good, sound sleep.  There is nothing better for seizures than getting good sleep.  So for that we're grateful.

Casey came back to us  yesterday at about 1pm...happy to be home...but Kim said he didn't really every seem distraught at being separated from us.  He slept great both nights at her house!  Thank you Kim - for a gift beyond measure.  We were able to bring Cody home and completely focus on him for 2 days - just what he and we needed.

But we missed our dear Casey and are glad to have him back in the mix.  I'm told he was quite entertaining at the Case's!  That's our update for today - off to church!

with much love, Shawna
