6 Weeks

Yesterday was Brads 6 week check up with his neurologist, Doctor Allen. He got X-rays taken of his back and they could see fusion starting to happen. He also was able to get the leg part of his brace off so its a lot easier to deal with. Dr. Allen told him he could start doing more things like start going back to work and walk around the neighborhood but he still wants him to be really careful because Brads back injury was in the top 10 percentile of the worst cases he has ever seen. Also, yesterday they weighed him and he was 171 lbs. Before all of this he was 198 so he has lost A LOT of weight. All in all he has been doing great lately, he is a lot more mobile and he isn't having a lot of pain anymore.

In other great news.....

I took my very last final of my college career today. I AM DONE!

Thank you for posting the update, Caitie. I'm glad brad's going back to work, he needs to bring home some bacon! I always said brad could afford to loose a few lbs.

I was hoping you were six weeks pregnant! Congrats on graduating Kt, we are so proud of you. I can't imagine how Brad could lose any more weight from his biceps, they were already so small, poor guy...
