Saturday Morning

Just a quick update... Dan is doing very well. Surgery yesterday went very well. They were able to do the 1st of 2 surgeries to repair his knee and lower leg, redo the pins and rods in his femur, and put the plates in his chest to repair several broken ribs. 

The surgery to repair his femur will take place early next week. He remains in ICU and remains completely sedated to keep him comfortable. They were very pleased to be able to accomplish as much as they did yesterday and now we'll just take it little bit at a time with the surgeries to follow.

Words cannot express how grateful we are for your constant prayers, your generosity, and all the help so many people have shown. Please continue to pray against any infection, etc and just continued healing. He's got a really long road ahead of him, but God is doing incredibly more than we could even ask of Him. Thank You!

    I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans 8:18
