Steve is OUT!

In an update from the Geis', they say that it was a crazy week. Tracy had another appointment with the jaw dr. Please pray that the rubber band traction will permanently put the jaw in the right alignment so she won't need another operation. Steve got out of the hospital on Wednesday which he was VERY happy about but it is quite a challenging time transitioning to Treetops (hotel) where his care and functioning take Tracy's every moment. He is beginning to walk but it is very painful since his "good leg" is the one with the broken femur. She is grateful for a visiting nurse that comes every other day to clean and dress the pin sites on the external frame on his leg. The nurse is also very good at answering questions that arise. Steve's dad arrives again from CA on Tuesday to help out. Steve deals with a lot of pain and frustration every day. They are both pretty exhausted but thankful to be together now. They ask that you would continue to pray for them. Their address is tracy_geis@sil.org if you'd like to write them.
