Outta the hospital - Hip, Hip, Hooray!!!

Good Afternoon!

We finished at the hospital this morning and were able to see the foot, before having a cast put on. The incision area all looks really good. I didn't think there was much left that we had not opened before, but Dr. I found space. The incision runs from the toe area to the ankle ... in a paisley shape. The flap appears to be "taking" and Dr. I thought it looked great today. Apparently a tendon near the big toe was in bad shape, so he wondered if that is why it wasn't healing .... at least all is progressing nicely as of now.

We took pictures with the doctor, of the foot incision and our medical team. It is amazing how the skin from the forearm just patches over the original bad area. Not much swelling, since we've had it elevated for a week. No pain .... actually the forearm area has been more bothersome than the foot. The next three weeks on crutches w/no weight on the foot. (No chocolate or caffeine either for the next three weeks - ugh!) We went out for a "celebration lunch" today and had the ultimate-hair washing session at the hotel. It was kinda hard to say good-bye to the nursing team, after 10 days of everyone rooting for us ... we all became well acquatinted.

We fly home tomorrow morning .... 95 in San Antonio today & it is only May. It has been a long ten days here, but overall things have gone smoothly. We remain extremely grateful for your prayers, love, friendship, and support. We also heard back from American Airlines; we have the first 3 seats and even know the name of the person that knows we are coming.

There is nothing, no circumstance, no trouble, no testing that can ever touch us, until first of all, it has come past God, past Christ, right through to me. If it has come that far, it has come with great purpose.

Hoping to start summer in three weeks!

Much love,
Jenny
