A New Update!

Hello, friends!  You know the ole' saying when it rains, it pours.  Well, that has definitely been the case with us!  You name it and it's broke in our house in the last 2 months!  Our computer was really messed up and we haven't been able to use it and Dan's laptop wouldn't work either!  I've wanted to update you, just haven't been able to.  Things are going good.  KY3 came and did a story on him.  I think most of you have seen it, but if not you can watch it at ky3.com.  Dan is back at work this week for a few hours a day.  He is REALLY glad to be back!  He is so grateful to everyone who kept everything running so smoothly while he was out.  We've got an amazing team at school!  We are going back to Columbia on Sunday for his next surgery scheduled for Monday morning.  They will be working on his knee this time and will do a bone graft on his lower leg.  He's probably looking at one more still after this one, just not sure yet when.  When we went last wk for his checkup, though, they are pleased with the xrays and said he's healing faster than what they expected.  We knew that already, because God has been working in extraordinary ways!  He is the Great Physician!!  They told us that his foot will probably need a brace from here on out because the nerves were severed across the front of his leg just below the knee.  We're just continuing to pray and ask God for complete healing and restoration of every bone, muscle, tendon, and nerve.  He's hoping to be back to school full time after Thanksgiving.  He's very driven and determined to do more each day.  I'm so proud of him and I admire his courage.  Thank you for continuing to pray for us!  We hear from so many people who are praying and encouraging us!  It's making ALL the difference!!!
