Connor had an appointment with his cardiologist appointment last week. His blood work came back showing that all of his numbers have improved and are looking amazing! They are normal or very close to. He had an Echocardiogram done and we just received news that he can discontinue wearing the Life Vest. Connor is so so happy to get it off. His ejection fraction showed 64%. Which is awesome!!! Typical ejection fraction of the heart is between 55%-70%. We were waiting for the left side of his heart to heal and it has! Praise God! My heart is happy! Connor will need to continue to take 3 different medications and have routine appointments with his cardiologist but we will take that. We continue to have OT, PT and Speech therapists come to the house 2 days a week. Connor is making progress. He can now slightly raise his toes on his right foot, the leg with Drop Foot. He does his therapy and exercises daily and he is getting stronger. He will need to continue to wear the brace on his right leg, to keep it straight and help him walk. The brace also makes it so the he does not have to lift up his leg when he walks. He needs to use a cane to keep him stable and for walking outside of the house. While at home he typically does not use the cane or brace as there are enough things around for him to grab on to if he stumbled. But he has to remember to take it slow and focus so he doesn’t! Of the therapies that Connor does each week, his Speech therapy is the most tiring. They work on different strategies to help him with focusing, memory, concentration, retention and all things cognitive. As I watch them work, I can almost see Connor’s brain functioning. He often needs to stop to think about how to do the tasks he has been challenged with. It’s very interesting. He is making improvements and it’s fabulous to see. We are still waiting for our insurance to approve Cardiac Rehab. That will be his next step in getting his strength back. He will be closely monitored while he increase the intensity of his exercises. We are hopeful that that should start in the next couple of weeks and that he can stop OT, PT, but keep working with his Speech Therapist. This is our hope and pray right now. He needs to get his strength back and work on cognitive issues before he can think about returning to work and school. It is our hope that he can try to take at least one class come winter quarter in January at Greenriver. Time will tell. He will need to ease back into things. I know that it is extremely difficult on Connor as he wants to get back to how things were. We know it’s all possible. It may take additional time and things may be a bit altered but close to the way they were!We see blessings daily and are 😀 We appreciate everyone’s prayers, support and help. We can not thank you enough! Love you all!♥️
