Monday...one week after surgery

Mitch is continuing to gain strength every day. We have been able to manage his pain well. He is averaging 6 hours between each pain pill. He was experiencing some muscle spasms in his hip so we got some meds for that today. It also helps if he ices it. He slept all through the night last night - from 11 to 8 (I woke him up at 8 because after laying still all night, he needs to get moving. He wasn't exactly happy with me!) Please pray that Mitch will try really hard to do what he needs to do to heal fast. He is doing a great job, he just needs extra encouragement sometimes. I told him he should be able to use his crutches by Wednesday or Thursday. Thanks for the continued prayers!
