3rd day update on Rox: Today has been a so-so day. All tubes, pain ball & pain pump have been taken away. She has had a lot of pain, but today is the 3rd day & its always one of the worse. I got concerned last night when she started running a fever. They do a chest X-ray every morning at 4:00 am & it showed that she had some fluid in her lungs from not doing her breathing exercises. So, all day she has been doing them as much as she can. The fever is gone. She has told me that she can already feel the difference in the way her shoulders feel from Dr. Thompson stretching the right & left pectoralis minor muscles. This will be a several month recovery, along with PT. We will take each day as it comes & we do not have any expectations. Just praying that this works. I do know this, Barnes-Jewish Hospital is a great facility to be. I am very thankful that Roxanna L. Chesteen was referred here. Dr. Thompson, according to what we have been told & also from seeing all of the jerseys that are signed in his office, is the best for TOS. A lot of baseball players, softball players, volleyball players (any athlete that uses their arms a lot) & just regular people like Roxanna, go to him. Happy New Year🎉🎊 to everyone & we hope that 2015 will be a good one for everyone! Keeping God first & leaning on him for his guidance is my prayer for this upcoming year. 🙏
