Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers for Cody. He is recovering remarkably well and even the surgeon is impressed with how the hand is doing. Cody goes to therapy twice a week to work on decreasing the sensitivity, specifically on the transplant and skin grafted portion, and to increase mobility. He is very encouraged by the progress he is making in his thumb which has a lot of movement, but discouraged by the minimum amount (5 degrees) of movement in his pointer finger. 

We had a bit of a scare on Sunday when Cody's hand began to throb and ache which it had not done in weeks, but after Tylenol and a nap, the pain subsided. An odd side note - the skin graft from Cody's wrist also blistered during this time into one huge lump. We finally took a needle to it that afternoon and drained it, but it began to fill again the next day. Cody wondered if maybe we should have saved the liquid we drained stating that it might have had 'magical properties'. Funny guy!!
