Baby steps every day. The medications have been the toughest so far. 7 different meds 3 times a day. The third round of meds have to be delivered at 2 a.m., 2:30 a.m., 3 a.m., 4 a.m., and 7 a.m. I typically wake up at 6 a.m. every morning so I literally haven't slept since last week. All meds with the exception of the antibiotic, pain, and muscle relaxer end today so the next big step will be trying to keep an active dog crated for 5 more weeks with only bathroom breaks. After that the challenge will be preventing further injury by correcting behavioral issues. The rule of thumb is that 6 months out what you see is what you get as far as his neurological recovery. I have faith that he's going to be back as much as he'll be physically capable of after having a surgery like this.
