Update: Making progress
Travis is in surgery again right now. He goes every three days to get his wounds washed out, to prevent infection, and see if they can close anymore of the wounds up. Having surgeries is hard, as I'm sure all of you know, and it seems just as Travis recoops well from one surgery, he's onto another one. But as I said, he is strong! He is so brave too. Because of his broken back, the nurses have to turn him on his side to wash his back and make sure there's no bed sores, and it is SO painful, but Travis just grits his teeth and bares it, because he knows it has to be done. He is my hero. His latest efforts have been to get his motor skills on track, and to start moving his arms and legs. It is so exhausting to him just to do 5 mins of physical therapy (PT); and in turn, it takes all day to work with him. He does little bits of PT at a time, take a break, then start again.
