REILLY UPDATE

​Reilly is doing great in school and is often a comic relief to those around him. Right now he doesn’t leave the classroom at lunch, but his teacher has created a “lunch bunch” group which consist of four randomly picked students to eat lunch with Reilly. It’s great to see him and the other kids engaging.

His back continues to look great since we’ve taken things slow and cautious. Unfortunately, due to his bladder management, he’s limited on how long he can stay at school. We will be doing a Urodynamic test with his doctor soon to see if he would benefit from an additional GTube that would go directly into his bladder and drain into a bag. Yes, another invasive surgery, but this is inevitable and the benefits far outweigh our current situation.

The house is coming along! The kitchen cabinets, laundry cabinet, and Reilly’s built-in for his medical equipment have all been installed. They already look great and they haven’t been painted and/or stained yet. Doors and trim casings have been installed and ready for paint. Closets layouts have been installed and ready for paint. Tile is currently underway and looking fantastic. We’ve had a slight snag with the primary flooring and garage doors for the house, but are currently looking for a remedy. Asphalt, permeable pavers, and concrete will be coming soon.
