Roxanne just got her first shower since Monday so she feels better. She has her first therapy session at 2. She is already experiencing some more movement in her right foot. When she was getting on the bed a few minutes ago she got her legs on the bed by herself. This is the first time this week. And all of this is prior to her therapy beginning. God is already in the process of healing.
I have learned it is called "foot drop." I'm not a "medical person" so I've just called it numbness.
Her doctor here at Lakeshore told us this morning that by Tuesday he should be able to tell us his opinion on how quickly the leg, foot will be restored.
How to pray? That Roxanne will have strength for the therapy. That the hip (where the bone was removed for the fusion) would heal quickly. (The hip is giving her more pain than anything). That the new regiment of pain meds here at the Rehab will go more smoothly this afternoon and tonight.
