Update on Cris

Cris is doing much better. He still hurts, of course, when his foot is touched but he's not squirming in pain just from sitting there. He's already starting to stretch out the time between pain pills, but seems to need some when he first wakes up. His foot gets stiff and really hard to move, so we have been giving him a good dose of medicine, and trying to excercise it while the medicine numbs the pain. That seems to make the next several hours better. The doctors say that walking is going to be the best thing for him to help stretch the skin around the joint. The sad thing is, thats the last thing he wants to do right now. I'm going to try and fight that battle today and see if we can take him for a walk around the neighborhood twice today. Thanks again for everyones support!
