We went back to Columbia yesterday for a Drs visit and things are looking good.  They are monitoring things really closely and are pleased with the new bone growth in each place.  It's really interesting to be able to see on xrays how God is healing Dan!  Dr has decided to wait 3-4 months before doing the next surgery which didn't bother Dan at all!  We are a little relieved to wait!  This will give his leg quite a bit of time to heal before doing any more to it which we feel really good about.  He is still showing the same signs of nerve damage in his foot so he will go for more testing on that to determine the extent of the damage and if there's anything they can do.  We're still praying about it and asking for God's healing.  His biggest battle right now seems to be in his thoughts.  It seems like when he's tired and worn out from it all discouraging thoughts begin to fill his mind.  It's easy to get weary in the battle for sure, so we just have to keep praying, binding those up and asking God to bring his thoughts captive.  God is greater than what we may "feel" during those times and He continues to provide strength, endurance, and perserverance.  He is back at work nearly every day and trying to get back to a somewhat normal routine.  Thanksgiving was wonderful apart from 5 out of 7 of us getting the flu!  Ugh!  But, we didn't let it stop us from enjoying time with family and eating more than we should've!  And so, we just are determined to keep on keeping on!  God Bless each of you~
