2 weeks post-op

It has already been two weeks since Jackson had his surgery and he is doing great. He is still a little painful at times and he still does not want to hold up his head, but he is definitely improving. We have been able to cut way back on his pain medication and he is now basically just taking Tylenol with the occassional Lortab when he seems to be in more pain. I would say that he is back to all of his baseline skills except anything that involves holding up his head and he still really does not want to roll over. Jackson had physical therapy on Monday and he was fitted for a stander. The stander will allow Jackson to be in a standing position so that he will get use to standing and to help strengthen the bones and muscles in his legs.
The only thing that Jackson has not readjusted to is sleeping in. He has been waking up at around 4:30 every morning and does not want to go back to sleep. Today I was actually excited that he slept until 6:30. I really hope that this will end soon and I will be able to get a full nights sleep again. Oh, one more new exciting thing for us is that Jackson actually ate a cheerio today without gagging or throwing up. Hopefully solid foods will be in our future sometime soon!
