Gabe is doing great - the doctor said he couldn't have asked for it to look any better in the x-ray. The pins/screws are all placed perfectly, and the bone is beginning to grow/fuse very well.
We decided however due to the pain that Gabriel is still experiencing we are going to wait until the 23rd to start Physical Therapy. The most important thing is that he has a successful run of therapy and with him still experiencing some pain- he most likely won't respond to therapy in the beginning and may not be able to participate all together for up to a week and a half... at which time they would send him home to finish getting his strength and wait for the pain to subside a bit. We decided it would be smarter to just take him home and let him have the additional time to heal and for the pain to fade. That way we won't have the possibility of being sent home or him not getting the full benefit of his Physical Therapy.
Anyway, I'll post more updates later. Just wanted to post a quick one with the information about if he was being admitted today or not and it is NOT.
Love you!!
