Thank You

Thank you for your many prayers, they really have been effective.

If you could see the differences from day to day, as I do with my foot and ankle, then you would understand the work that God is doing - albeit slowly, but in His timeframe not mine.

Just in the past 24 hours the foot has gone from a bleeding swollen mess to today where the wounds appear to have almost totally closed up - no blood today when it was unpacked!  Yesterday, the swelling was easily up by 20%, today back down.  Yesterday significant blood pooling again under the skin - today just a light bruising.

Weird!

Even the nurse Wednesday commented that this foot is behaving very oddly!  I just smiled and thought of you and your friends or church you have had praying for me as well.  Many, no idea whom (I do have those I ask to pray) but combined, God is acting and healing my poor leg and foot.

To put this in context, the original schedule was surgery in April, physical therapy in June at the earliest.  Then with the breaking of the ankle (AGAIN!), that was changed to another surgery in May, out of titanium brace in July, then physical therapy in September.  But, the titanium brace broke in early June, which caused an infection that has all but killed me in July.

Yet, the foot continues to heal it seems.  So, in two weeks I will be put in another specialized brace, four months ahead of schedule!

God is working on me and my leg ...

But, thank you for your faithfulness in prayer - more, many more months of prayer is needed to get me off my scooter and walking again (or better yet in the woods again!).

Thank you.
