Up date on Jarrod's surgery

[fostrmom2mny]

Jarrod, my autistic foster son, had heel chord lengthening surgery last week.
Both legs are in casts and he had a rough first couple of days. (The pain med given made him sick ) He's up and around, there isn't many places that he can't get to now We rented him a wheelchair for school and for use when we go places that he'd have a lot of walking.

He's a boy with an attitude when he gets in his wheelchair He wants to do it his self. (push and move from place to place) His sence of humor is back and all I can say is look out Mrs. Lamb (his school teacher) he's all yours tomorrow!

This is great news Gerri. I'm glad Jarrod is on the mend. You can always tell when they're feeling better....it shows in their 'attitude' Thanks for the update.

And tell Vicky Happy 18th Birthday for me too.

Glad to hear it went well Gerri. Maybe he needs caution signs for his chair ;D

I'm still hoping you can get some time this weekend.

Gerri.. hugs to you, Jarrod and the rest of your special family.....People like you make the world a better place.. Between you and Ray, I spend a lot of time in tears on the DisCon Board.. not sad tears, happy tears that someone cares for others so much..

Gerri - I'm sure that you are relieved that the surgery is over. You can't keep a good kid down, and it sounds like Jarrod has all the spirit he needs to get through this. I just hope that you can keep up with him.
