Hi there, Well, Stan isn't carrying the annoying bag around anymore! The plastic surgeon was very impressed with the progress of three weeks and has removed the vaccu-bandage. Now Stan is feeling free from using the walker to carry the weight of the pump during walks! and it is so much nicer not to be connected to something and looking out for the hose etc. So much better!! The bandages are also not as big as they used to be which means minimum time for changes and maybe just us instead of Homecare very soon. We have another appointment with the surgeon in three weeks and hopefully it will be completely healed by then.
The second specialist (Physiatrist) put Stan through his paces with electric stim tests and needles (ouch) to check out the nerves in his right arm and left foot. Melissa took time off work to be there to observe. He has slow improvement and that seems to be the way the time line goes in this case. We will just "keep on keepin'on" with the physical therapy and wait for the mending to happen. It looks like the arm vertical movement will be limited but hopefully strenghtening will still make it very useful with more strength in some positions than others.
We hope to take in some of Lectureship in Regina this weekend. This decison may be influenced by Monica and the grandbaby. Her due date had been last Friday so any time now may be "baby time". Please keep her in your prayers.
Love from Stan and Maxine

If for some reason we so not see you or get a chance to say hello at lectureship, here it is now. Hello and God be praised for the two of you from John and Jane Smith. Prayers go up everyday from us for your family, including for that baby!
Grace to you in Christ,
scrawney
Glad to hear the good news! Sounds like things are right on track. Slow, but steady...
It is great to see the remarkable and continous improvement. You see miracles do happen. And soon a new grandchild to spoil.
Life is grand isn't it!
