New leg! New leg! New leg! The master came home from his appointment in Houston yesterday with a brand spankin' new appendage. Woohoo! He will wear this leg for three months and then he will be fitted for his final prosthesis. He is not supposed to bear full weight on it for a week, so that is why he is still on the crutches in the picture. He is standing straighter than he ever has. After he took it off last night, we put it on the coffee table and just stared at it in wonder. It is a beautiful sight, let me tell you. With only the limited time he is allowed to wear the leg (he slowly has to build up time wearing it, so as not to cause blisters/soars), he can tell he will be able to walk better and with no pain. Whew! Sure am glad this whole ordeal is going to be worth it.

Hip Hip Hooray! Do I need to do that three times for this post? :-)
I'm so glad that he is making progress and that you are both very excited about the future. I think of you often. Congratulations! God is so very good!
He looks thrilled. So glad that it's going well, finally. Praying this week is an easy one while he's on the crutches.
Congratz!!!
Yeah!! That is WONDERFUL news. I am so happy that he is making progress.
