He's doing so incredibly well. The neck pain is now minimal, he does still have pain on occasion but it's rare and manageable. His Neurontin (nerve pain medicine) is now tapered down to 600mg three times a day, we will continue to decrease the dosage weekly until he is no longer taking it. He continues to take 1000mg Keppra (seizure precaution) twice a day but I'm hoping we can decrease that after his Neurology follow-up visit in two weeks.
He's sleeping better and is now able to sleep the entire night in his bed. He goes to the gym several times a week. Enjoys driving his truck, going for walks, sitting on the porch in the rocking chair, and doing the New York Times crossword puzzle. And of course spending time with the kids. He takes Zoey to preschool every Tuesday and Thursday, just like he used to do before.
We celebrated his birthday as a family on Saturday. Zoey had a great time baking his cake. She made the whole thing mostly by herself, with a little help from Finn and Marty.
That evening we went out to eat at Gilligan's with the family to celebrate:
This morning he came over to take Zoey to school and I made his favorite - homemade biscuits, recipe passed down from my family down South. This batch came out really awesome too, some of the best I've made. I think he had a really great day.
