Day Four - A very good morning



When I arrived Don was standing and in mid pee, I know to much information by Amy wants details. He is still a little weak because the nurses wouldn't let him out of bed till this morning but he showered and used the bathroom (#2).

We are waiting for the doctor to come and give Don the results should know with in the hour.

Here is the new improvements:

-Don is extending his left arm straight
-His hand isn't closed like a fist anymore
-His feet look great and not swollen. His toes were also starting to go purple because of the lack of blood flow, well that gone too.
-He can lift his arm over his head with his other hand but because he hasn't used his arm in so long that he doesn't have any muscle mass to do it on it's own.
Also his face or neck isn't swollen from the surgery as well so he looks great
