It’s been a while since we updated so this is long overdue. After a couple of uncomfortable weeks and resting as much as possible, the shingles went away and Austin was able to get back to healing. He’s going to PT every week and doing his exercises daily.
While it does seem he lost some ground during the shingles, things are slowly getting back on track. He has some lingering dizziness and balance issues, which were expected. It’s going to just take time to see if/how much those are corrected through therapy.
Some priorities right now are building his stamina for screen time so he can get back to work. Otherwise he’s able to do a lot more of his normal activities. He’s driving and in general feeling pretty good. He’s even taking Simon down to his tournament in Valencia this weekend! I’m on backup and will fly down 5 if anything happens, but everything should be just fine.
