Recovery started off tough and as of today is slowly getting a little easier. Trev developed itching with his meds so he was on benadryl also. That seemed to help. He was pretty sore for a few days. He had a noticeable limp and was slightly hunched over when he walked. Holding his buffalo closely to his battle wounds.
Sleep has been hard to come by. Both Trevor and the girls had been staying up very late and getting up very early. Lack of getting energy out can do that to you. Of course I wasn't able to go to sleep until they did. So that meant even less sleep for me. Last night Trev went to bed at 8:30 and woke up around 9:30 this morning! Yay Trevor!!
Yesterday he said his pain was a zero for the first time. It really showed too! I think that is why he fell asleep so early. But this morning he woke up in a lot of pain. It was back to a two. The only thing he wanted to do was play video games or watch movies. It took about 4 hours for the medicine to finally kick in.
Hopefully he will be ready for school on Thursday. If not he'll be back in time for the Valentine Party. He will have another week off of gym and recess, but he will get to do fun stuff during that time like computers, library or playing video games. So I do not think he will mind that much.
Hopefully he starts sleeping better so I can sleep. Also I hope his pain subsides soon and these two weeks of recovery will be over and he can start running around outside again. On the bright side it is rainy and cold outside so that is easier to keep him in the house.
Thank you to everyone who prayed for us and helped us out. We are very grateful for such wonderful friends! Everything happened so fast we did not have time to think. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around everything that happened. It still feels surreal to me.
