Ethan Update...


God forbid they would cut the wrong foot... right!? lol

Well the above pic was taken right before surgery today. Hard to tell from the pic, but everything under, and the hump above the word yes was the problem.

Ethan handled it like a champ...and so did mom and dad I might add. We were well covered in prayer and felt it througout the day. Although Dr. Norris said it was as bad as he had feared, he was able to put it back together better than he expected. Ethan has a pin that sticks out through his skin above where the Y is in the picture. It is holding things in place while the bones heal. They will pull the pin out in six to eight weeks.

For the next 24 hours we have to keep it high in the sky. Hard to keep an almost 15 year old flat on his back... especially when he has a new car sitting out in the garage calling his name. Great news though, is...NO Crutches! He gets to wear a walking boot. To him that is a great relief!

Thanks so much to everyone who prayed for him today... they were definatley felt, and definately answered! Our God is HUGE!!!

Whoo Hooo! You know you could stand there and hold it up for him! Remember I told him to milk it for the whole 8 weeks!
