An Update...


Despite getting less than three and half hours of sleep last night, I am in a surprisingly good mood!  Today is the day that the Hubs life will change *fingers crossed* for the better.  For the last two years he has lived in constant excruciating pain since being shot in the foot, (shattering most of the bones in his foot) along with his many other injuries that he sustained from his tour overseas.


It has been a long and arduous road full of tears, pain, and surgery upon surgery.  But today is the day!  His foot has finally healed enough to have a total ankle replacement, which means that in a mere 5-6 months he will be finally able to do the one thing closest to his heart…to be able to play with his boys relatively pain free!  So for that I am tiredly overjoyed!


I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you that sent your prayers and thoughts our way today…I can definitely feel them!

    *applauding* Thanks to your husband for his commitment to our country and the freedoms that go with it, and to you for sharing this with us.

    So glad to hear he's on the mend and will be enjoying the best parts of life again :)

    Prayers will continue!

    I'm so happy to hear your husband is getting the surgery he needs. I second Bethany when I say thanks to him for fighting for our country, and thanks to YOU for being one of the brave women who works hard on the home front!

    Will continue to pray...keep us posted!
