1st Injection

So we had our first injection yesterday and it went well. We went right after therapy which was another great day. They worked him hard. By the end he was dripping sweat and his shirt was pretty wet. I'm sure he'll love that i'm sharing that with everyone, but it's great to see how hard he is working, and he is working hard!! They do so many great things with him and it is so fun to watch. They had him standing up again and he had pretty much all of his weight on his legs. So after therapy we got all registered and set up back in a room to wait for our first injection. It went well the doctor came back had him sit up prepped everything and gave him the injection right into the back. Then another doctor gave him 2 more IV injections into his arm which were his own stem cells. They had him lay down for awhile and then they let us go. I was a little nervous because they tell you about the side effects and probably getting headaches. We came back and I had him lay down because you are supposed to lay flat for five hours after the injections. He was pretty excited that he had the excuse of not having to cook dinner or anything because it was "Doctors Orders"! He felt like he was a little congested but other than that he did great. So another successful day.
