Recovery Update

It has been 6 weeks since Greyson's surgery and he is doing great (although he was sick last week when I was out of town). His incision has healed up very well and most of the swelling has gone down. Dr. Jiang is extremely happy with the results and thinks that Dr. Rivard, the radiologist, may or may not have some larger cysts to scleros sometime after summer. Dr. Jiang and Dr. Rast will do another surgery in a year or so to work to get more of the tissue out and contour the front of his shoulder.

Greyson had an appointment today to pick up and check the fitting on his compression suit and glove (we are calling it his "Under Armour"). The Occupational Therapist was very happy with the fit and will make some minor adjustments and order another set on Monday if we are happy with it after a couple of days. The fit is very snug and a challenge to pull on (think putting on pantyhose right after getting out of the pool) but as long as he will tolerate it we will keep it on 24/7. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it but we have noticed that he is using his right hand a bit less as he is getting used to it.
