Journal entry by Nicole Weedman

Has been a busy past couple of months for MJ, transitioned back to school full time, took a trip with Mom to Fort Myers Beach to visit Yaya & Papa and is enjoying his time back hanging out with his Ms Heather at JMS afterschool.  

Michael had a post op appointment at Gillette today with Dr G.  Everything is looking good and the bones in the back are showing signs that they are growing new bone tissue which is great news since they didn’t do that after the last surgery.  Whew 😅 Dr G is very happy with the progress.  
Overall His recovery has been going well the only pain he has had was on the flight to Florida sitting on the plane aggravated it and he had some bad pain, not fun when you don’t have many options to move around.  
The best news for MJ from today was he can start bowling again and in one month return to his beloved basketball 🏀 playing.
We also were given the official ok to stop wearing the brace!!! Getting back to normal! 

We have to return for another check in June.
