First rehab session completed...YEAH!

Without much sleep last night and low oxygen levels at times she battled through her first one hour rehab session with her physical therapist. Wow, this is going to be one HUGE challenge.

After the rehab session she is put into a machine that moves her leg for two hours and then it's time for rehab session number two, followed by 2 hours on the CPM for the OTHER leg.

We repeat the process one more time in the evening which gives us a total of 10 1/2 to 12 1/2 hrs (depending on pain level) for our starting PT day.

They say her pain will be greater than child bearing the next couple of days after block wears off. Ice packs and morphine to the rescue. Already starting to have increase pain levels since first session. Morphine pump every 6 minutes and a stronger med. every 4hrs. Poor girl!

Thx for your prayers for Chris everyone. Overall we are off to a really good start (no problems encountered in surgery and first rehab session with PTA was excellent)!

Abiding in Him,

brian for Chris too.
