Getting Ready for the Big Day!

It's been just about a year since David's hip dislocated. We are so ready for this surgery and have high hopes that we'll get our old boy back!

Now that his back is straightened, his pain hopefully alleviated through this surgery, a new wheelchair waiting for him and ready to support him properly when he recuperates - we see good things in the future.

We believe he is in a bit better condition going into this surgery than the last. He has a few pounds more on him and his spirit is strong. In his words, "I have a warrior spirit". Truer words were never spoken.

So Monday, October 5, is the big day. We were told that David probably won't have to go into ICU after surgery and that they're expecting only a 2-day stay. His biggest desire is to get home as quickly as possible, so he's already prepared to cooperate in every way to make that happen.

Again, thanks for following the blog, for your thoughts and prayers, and the support you give us to get through the next hoop!
