Just wanted to let you all know that I've "graduated" from a walker to elbow cruthes today. I'm gradually getting more confidence and flexibility in my foot/leg and putting more weight on my leg. For long distances I'm still in a wheelchair but for short walks, I'll do the crutches now. Early next week (6 wk. mark) I'll get an xray of my leg for the dr. to see how the healing is coming along. Please pray that the healing is taking place well and that I can get the metal bars in my mouth removed on Tuesday.
Steve has also "graduated" from only being allowed to sit at a 45 degree angle for the past 5 1/2 weeks to this morning being able to sit at 90 degrees allowing him to go outside in a wheelchair for a little walk and fresh air! What a praise!
Please pray for Tracy too as her jaw/mouth is also still in repair. She has different issues than I do and the dr. isn't exactly sure how to help her. Pray for God's wisdom for him as he has not treated this exact kind of injury before, which is a little unsettling, pray for peace for Tracy and confidence in the Lord as her creator and healer.
Blessings to you all.

Kim this is such great news. We are encouraged to hear that things are going well for you. We are praying that you will be able to come home to PA on scheduled. Love Angie N. Hope is doing great & loved hearing from you on her birthday:)
ReplyDeleteThaks so much for the updates. I keep praying and I hope you can apply the mind over matter to get those legs functioning again. We pray for Steve and Tracy - wisdom for doctors.

That's awesome, Kim. You know what I think you should do on Tuesday if all goes well? When Rob was 9 years old or so he got his mammoth tonsils removed, and proud brother Mike, always thinking ahead, captured them for eternity in resin, making Lancaster's first ever tonsil-paperweight, for all to enjoy. He's so thoughtful that way. You too could join the fun, in turning your metal bars into an art form. The possibilities are endless! I'll get on ideas right away.
ReplyDeletewith all the other graduations going on, i didn't expect to be congratulating you on yours! :) good job, graduate!
