thank you for your prayers...

on friday...our son, shannan had surgery on his wrist...

it's always intense when a person you love is in the hospital and/or having surgery...

he was hit by a car while in a crosswalk in may 2012...

his wrist was broken in the accident...

there were a lot of opinions about surgery, no surgery, yes surgery...and through prayer and lots of talk and thought, we decided to not do surgery when the last doc said it was almost too late to do surgery and there was a fifty percent chance it would not work...

shannan was not happy with that, so he decided against surgery...

through a lot of physical therapy and hard work, he tried to make it work, but he could not...

with pain every day and lack of movement, he decided to go back to the docs and see what they could do...

they removed some bones,

cut some bones,

did some reconstructing and shaving and screwing and voila!

new wrist...

thanks everyone for the prayers and texts...you are awesome...

thanks hope for the company...

thanks martha for shannan's vanilla shake...his fav...

thanks leslie for the amazing and yummy meal saturday night...

thanks stacey for taking care of your brother while we were away on sunday at the flea...

and,

everyone else for the prayers, encouragement and checking on our son...

if you would, please lift him up in prayer during your quiet time...he has a lot of healing to do...weekly x-rays to check the fusing...some physical therapy down the line...

please pray for healing, patience and understanding...

love, love, love...
