The prayers of many have been answered! We just returned from the "casting" appointment and our first opportunity to see Jenny's foot when the bandages came off. Tears of joy were flowing as we witnessed a new flat and straight foot! Needless to say, mom was ecstatic! Jenny could hardly believe it and was suffering from some nausea, so she has yet to realize the full impact of what has been accomplished. Today she will change pain meds to hopefully allow her to be more alert.
Going into the appointment, I was anxious to see if it looked different from last spring when her foot was slightly tilted immediately after the surgery. Today it definitely looked different...what encouragement!
Please continue to pray that her recovery goes well with no infection (the main concern). She will have stitches removed in 2 weeks and a "holiday cast" put on. If all is healed in 6 weeks (December 27), she will go to a walking cast then.
We are rejoicing in this good news and giving God all the praise for this wonderful Thanksgiving gift! Thank you for your prayers and loving support. It has meant so much to Jenny and our family!
