Dr Appt Update

Today Paul went to his follow up appointment with the Orthopedic Surgeon. They took the staples out of his leg. The report was good. The Dr said everything looked good and we are ready to start therapy...ouch...so be it Monday morning therapy starts. The Dr said he will need several weeks of therapy and probably won't be released to go back to work for about 10-12 weeks. Please pray that the pain will lesson and he can take less medication. A huge thanks to everyone for their love and support. So many people have done so many things for us I couldn't begin to list them all. It has been a huge blessing to us.

We are home. It is truly a miracle. Paul had an incredible painful day on Wednesday. Michele, Rebecca and I spent about 5 -6 hours trying to make Paul comfortable. The pain was so intense we saw a side of Paul I didn't know he had..(after 21 years). Michele was helping me answer my phone and she told everyone to please pray. She called the Pastor and asked for special prayer. I know the prayers of many people were answered. Thursday he had a much better day and we were able to come home! He is still in a lot of pain but with LOTS of pain meds we are working through it.

It was a blessing to have my brother as a resource during this time. When I first called and told him was the situation was he said "oh no that's a bad one"....that is scary coming from a surgeon.

Paul is to have no weight on his leg for 3 months..He will be going through intense therapy. He said his Boundary Waters trip is NOT cancelled it is just postponed!! LOL

God has been so very near during this time. My mom reminded me of the song Paul and Amy Loper had sang in church just 2 weeks prior that says "God sees the storm from the other side". Maybe we don't understand why this happened but we do understand God is Good.

Our families, church family, neighbors, work friends have all be so kind and have helped us so much. I can't tell you what a tremendous help everyone has been..

Update

Paul had a better night last night. Thanks to prayers and medication the pain wasn't as severe. If he can tolerate the pain with oral medication and does well with Physical Therapy today they may send him home.

Paul Update

This is Michele again for Sarah. Paul is struggling with leg spasms that are causing an extreme amount of pain. Please pray that he will get some relief and that he and Sarah are able to get some sleep this evening. Sarah and Paul say a great big thank you for all your prayers!

update

I just spoke to the surgeon. The surgery went great!!
They put 3 plates in his leg. He will not be able to put any weight on his leg for 3 months (please pray for me!!!) I really appreciate all the prayers, cards and messages that we have received. Most of all I appreciate God opening and closing all the appropriate doors. He certainly has been with us over the past few days. We want to learn what he wants to teach us from this! Love to all our family and friends....
