September 22, 2014 - A QUICK UPDATE
Friends and family,
Certainly I have been delinquent in posting on this blog for 2+ months! Much has happened in our lives and I will post a more complete update soon:) But after receiving many inquiries via email and Facebook, here is the quick update for John. Today at 1:30pm John is scheduled for a surgery on the stump. Specifically, in medical terms, it is a "revision to remove the redundant tissue and improve the original scarring." Dr. Motzkin, the original surgeon, will perform the operation. This will allow for a better fit and long-term comfort in the new prosthesis which will be made after the surgical sight heals completely. He has been walking with a cane and around the house unaided. We are not looking forward to 6-8 weeks in a wheelchair again!
We covet your prayers and I promise to post a report after surgery.
