Week 7

Image
He went back to school on Thursday and is no longer using crutches! He can go back to work now, as long as he takes breaks off his feet periodically. He was able to bike a mile in 10 monutes. Now they have him working on balance. Seems so silly, but it was actually hard for him.

He started on the bike and was able to go all the way around from the beginning:) and he's only using 1 crutch to get around

Week 6

Image
Dr said everything looks good. He can start doing 100% weight, just using 1 crutch and ditch the crutches by the end off the week. He still needs to wear the brace for another 3 to 4 weeks for support, but it has no restrictions. It can be unlocked all the time. He got to try the bike at therapy today, couldn't quite pedal all the way around, but he was able to a few times towards the end.

He has been locked at 80 degrees for bending. He gets to bump it to 90 today, but at therapy he was able to bend it without the brace at 93. They said keep it at 90 for a day or so and make sure its still easy and then he can bump it to 100. They said Monday he will get new exercises and he is almost to the point he can start doing the bike.

Week 5

The physical therapist said he could start doing 50% of his weight today. Everything looks good!

Driving

Kyler had a Christmas party for his work. We let him drive. He was super glad he went. I took a picture od the cute gift his manager gave him.

They bumped him up to 3 lbs on his leg now when he does his exercises. They also gave him a new band for the other exercises. He went from the red band to a green, which has more resistance. He is doing good!
