Sunday Visit

About ten days ago, Ryan had a pump implanted into his abdomen that releases medication to help with the leg spasms he's been experiencing. Over the past few weeks, the spasms made it difficult for him to participate in rehabilitation activities. He was previously taking pain meds to deal with the spasms, which made him too tired to do rehab as well. We're hoping that this new pump will control the spasms without the sedative effects of his old pain medications.

Ryan looked good this morning. We hung out and talked for a little bit, then went to go watch the Saint's kickoff. As Jim mentioned earlier, Ryan is rocking a nice goatee. He got a good laugh when I called him James Hetfield, so it's good to know that his knowledge of 80s-90s metal still exists. The great news about this visit is that Ryan was mostly awake and not experiencing leg spasms for the duration of the visit. Hopefully, this means he can get back to the therapy routine and start progressing again. Ryan looked the best I've seen him in weeks.

Keep visiting when you can. He thanked us for coming, so you know he appreciates it.
