Gray is doing great!

He is ready for visitors and to Skype.

He can slowly move about, take his walks down and around the driveway diligently and is hungry again.  Between the lazy boy chair in the library and the adjustable bed in his bedroom he is comfortable, and getting good sleep as well.  My challenge now is to slow him down when he is up and moving!  He tires easily, which is to be expected and gets sore quickly, especially after visits and walks, but this is all good.  He hasn't' been able to do a lick of homework since he did his science fair experiments the weekend before his surgery, but that will be one of next weeks goal.

Next week we return to Norfolk for a check up with Dr. Kelly, the surgeon.  Once cleared, Gray will begin to work with a physical therapist to rebuild his stamina and strength.
