Grant had a checkup at the urologist this morning. He told me yesterday that he was praying that the doctor was going to tell him that he was a miracle...one in a million...and was completely healed. We discussed how that was completely possible because God is God. But, if not, He is still good. Well, while the report was not of complete healing, he did get good news. Notably, he was cleared to start driving again. The doctor also told him he could start being more active (in isolation). He can do light workouts and even shoot a basketball (alone). This is all really great news. Today marks 4 weeks since the accident. Grant had hit a mental wall this week. He was very frustrated because of how limited his activities, and therefore social interactions, had been. We are thankful for a move in the right direction today.
Physically, Grant is feeling better. He is not needing any pain meds and is mainly just sore on days he is more active. The sonogram today still showed a very large blood clot around his kidney, which we are just waiting to dissolve. This is going to take a while as he lost 30-40% of his blood in the original bleed. The kidney was nearly cut in half, so the sonogram showed that there is also a clot between the 2 halves that will need to dissolve before the kidney can heal itself. And the kidney is functioning. He is no longer bleeding, just sloughing blood from the clot. That is great news too! He's also been seeing the chiropractor 3x a week. His alignment is looking a lot better. She's still not doing a full adjustment, but just the muscle release has been significant. Slow and steady.....not so fun for anybody, especially a 15 year old boy.
Again, we can not thank you all enough for how you have supported our family through this, especially the prayers. Grant is still praying to salvage some of his basketball season, which starts next week.
