Riley Update...

We went to the Doctor yesterday. The MRI showed no disc damage and no intrusions of any sort into the spinal canal. He gets to wear the lovely brace for three more weeks till we go back to the doctor. Riley asked the doctor if he could take off his brace for the Sadies Dance this weekend. The doctor told him a better solution would be to get a size bigger shirt and wear it over the brace. Riley faithfully wears the brace 24/7. It only comes off for showering.

The four vertebra that are broken are t8, t9, t10, and t11. He can walk better and no longer takes lortab. He is able to manage the pain with ibuprofen. We might not make it for the end of season skiing. But diving starts the end of March, that might work!

We are grateful for the continued blessings in our life.

What a miracle that he is okay and walking!
