Today was emotional to say the least. Yesterday we met with Dr. Park and he explained that there was a possibility that Bryce's spasticity would return. This happens in some kids that are "more involved" like Bryce. It was upsetting and kind of came as a shock even though we have heard of this possibility. It was deflating.
The morning came fast and suddenly calls, texts, FB posts and pictures came flooding in. With each message we were gaining back confidence- you were raising us up! I can't begin to thank you ALL for your love and support. I hope you know what power you sent us today.
The surgery did go great and I can see considerable changes in Bryce's feet already. He even wiggled his toes slightly- that is something he could never do before. Right now Bryce is in a lot if pain.. Experiencing muscle spasms already... The pain team has made changes in his med-cocktail and he has been smiling more already.
I can only believe that this surgery will be a success. We won't know for sure for six months to a year if his spasticity will return. One thing I will always take comfort in is that we have given him this opportunity.. Bryce's future is not yet written. We aren't willing to set back and not give him the chance based on theories or worst case scenarios.
You touched our hearts today! Please know that even though I couldn't individually respond to everyone- I read each message and saw each picture. You are amazing and you helped this little family of 4 make it through this day and many days to come! We love all of you!
