We met with JJ’s surgeon at Mayo this week and he is very pleased with how the surgery went. He reiterated how he and all the doctors on his case are still in shock it was benign. He reminded him how lucky he is. He said JJ’s the less than 1% of 1,000, and then the less than 1% of 3,000 from there. He was so happy for us but speechless and dumbfounded at the final results. He truly didn’t think things would turn out so well for JJ.
The nerves in JJ’s arm, hand and fingers are firing up and while that’s fantastic news, it’s also very painful. At times, excruciating to the point he’s debated on whether to have me drive him to the ER for IV meds. The doctor reassured us this is all fantastic news and means best case scenario is happening … the wiring in his nerve is coming back.
JJ continues to take gammapentin which helps block the nerve pain. Thank goodness for that because I can only imagine how bad the pain would be if he didn’t have the nerve block pains on board.
JJ is going to start PT here in the cities. Then he’ll have virtual appointments with his team in Mayo, and the PT folks will keep the Mayo doctors in the loop as to how things are going.
We know how lucky we are and continue to count our blessings and thank God for granting us another miracle. We have relied on our faith a lot since having the triplets, and truly know how blessed we are.
We appreciate the support and I’ll update as things happen.
God Bless,
The Moores
