Good News!

We got great news today. According to Dr. Herzenberg, Nick is doing great. He has 2cm of length already. X-rays show good bone healing material. He even said that maybe he would be done lengthening in two weeks. Alot faster than we thought and great to hear. It seems the majority of the pain comes with the lengthening process. I am not the doctor but in my eyes, that means less pain. Nick is definately looking forward to that. At first we were only supposed to get a small amount of growth each day. Now we have to look for too little. Too little could result in the bone consolidating too soon and need to be rebroken. We don't want to do that again. More good news, at PT today they said that Nick is doing very well. He has a lot of movement and flexibility still. Finally, the best news of the day. We are coming home!!!!!!! Yep, we will hit the road on Friday. We are going to finish the week of PT. We have PT at 4 on Thursday. Instead of driving at night. We will hit the road early Friday morning. Oh, yah. They are also having a BBQ here at the house with Chocolate sno-cones. Nick promised Amy, the house coordinator, that he would have a chocolate sno-cone. Actually in Baltimore they call them snow-balls but you know, same thing. So we have to wait until Friday to leave. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers! They are working.
