July 28 DOING WELL

Travis had a poor night last night - his back pain kept him awake a lot in the night - so he is very tired. We just got back from the hospital so he is trying to get some sleep now to catch up a bit.

At clinic today the doctor said that Trav is doing well. He did a bit of adjustment with his insulin and suggested Tylenol now to help with his back pain (his kidneys have not liked the Ibuprofen so much the last couple of days). He is quite hopeful that that will take care of it - if not they will try a muscle relaxant. Travis is a bit dehydrated so he going to get an IV this afternoon to re-hydrate him. I believe this is all quite normal for the course.

It is going well in physio and OT - such an important part to the recuperation.
