We had one physical therapy appointment because I freakdd out thinking he wasn’t going to be able to get around middle school. Our wonderful physical therapist who has helped us through surgeries since 2019 knew what Cooper needed and motivated him to do so. Within a week with his prescribed exercises and the knowledge that he CAN walk and use his legs, he was ready for school on Aug 15.
By now he’s fully recovered - as mobile as he was before surgery. He’s getting around his new middle school (6th grade!) on his strider bike, and has his schedule all figured out. He’s excited about band class and science. He is back to playing drums once a week with Campbell (on guitar) for their band practice. He is very much looking forward to his 11th birthday on September 10.
He had to wait 4 weeks after surgery to do any activities with torsion, so on the 28th after school, he hit about a million baseballs in the backyard. Tomorrow we’ll go to TopGolf to swing golf clubs. His scars are healing nicely and he has no more surgery-related pain.
Thank you again for your prayers and well wishes. Super Cooper has done it again. 👍
