Finally February


Morgan has had another very good week. Her shoulder movement is fantastic. She has been doing some light weights to improve her tone and it is paying off. Her remaining left bicep is visable for the first time since surgery.
With all the good news it is sometimes easy to forget that Morgan is still healing from her surgery. During the surgery Morgan did lose the long head portion of the bicep and the anterior part of the deltoid muscle . She also lost her axillary nerve. This is the nerve that supplies muscular and sensory innervation (nerve supply) to the deltoid and rotator cuff muscles. Although she has had no complications since surgery, her allograft, the bone from the bone bank, is supposed to fuse to Morgan's bone at the shoulder. She will have an X-ray in two weeks and it should reveal how much growth has taken place. I will keep you posted on the progress.
Psalm 139:13-14 For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Thy works...
Love,
Reena
