Hi all,
We are excited to announce that we have another date for Zac's surgery: July 23rd, the pre-op apt. is July 21st. Zac is doing well, and does seem to be healthy, with some allergy issues. Please pray that he will stay well through the surgery. This is the third attempt to start the process on his left leg. Dr. Standard has been named as the attending physician this time. We don't think that this makes much difference as he has been involved in all of his other surgeries. Dr. Paley will at least be available, if not working along side of Dr. Standard. Please pray for these men as we prepare for this major surgery.
It will be one year ago on July 17th that we started the surgery on his right leg. All is well now, he is in a full leg brace, and is starting to weight bear, and walk in a walker. I don't think that he will completely walk with the walker until both legs are straight. We think that he will be able to that even with the fixator on his left leg. We are getting ready to order a power chair that he should have by the time he is 3 (the process takes a while with paper work). Zac turned 2 yrs in May. He is a typical 2 yr old! He and Cai are great buddies one minute, and typical brothers the next.
As you pray for Zac, we ask that you continue to pray for us. We are facing decisions, and need direction as far as employment. We have both been looking and interviewing, but nothing has turned up yet. James continues to take classes with ECPI to complete an Associates degree in Technology in the spring, and then a Bachelors with the accelerated program in the fall ('09). We do not have clear direction as to relocate, and/ or to sell our house, but we may soon have to make that decision. We feel strongly that what is best for Zac is to continue with the surgeries, especially as we have the right leg completed, it is the sooner the better for his progress. As we keep up with Cobra, we do not have anymore deductibles until September, so if we have the surgery now, it is 100% covered. We are seeking God's direction in all of these things, but at times the silence is deafening. We also know that it is a difficult time for many people, we are not alone. God has blessed us with many caring individuals that pray, and that is where we are at. We feel that He uses our situation, and we give Him the glory in all things. He has supplied our needs in so many amazing ways, we know that He will continue to do so. It is in our human that we desire to know the when, where, and the hows, and not to mention the whys. Because He has been so faithful, and because we love Him, we continue to trust, and believe. We know that He is in control.
We are so grateful to each of you. We look forward to sharing good reports about Zac's surgery.
For those who have prayed for our dear friend Lenni, she went home this week. Her new room was completed. We are thankful to know her, for her life, and for her faithfulness. We give God praise that her son and daughter came to know Jesus as their own savior the night before she passed. Please keep her family in your prayers.
Thank you,
James, LeAnn, Cai, and Zac
