Everyone is doing better! Yea! - November, 2012

Sept 19 - Nov. 1 has been a very emotional time for us! First Ryan's accident, then Bruce's mom has surgery on both of her legs.
Ryan continues to slowly but surely improve with each passing day. He is still at OU Medical Center but is in stable condition. They did not have to amputate his leg, they have put in external fixators and did a skin graft, so far, so good! They have also fixed his cheek bone and removed all 3 chest tubes. Mentally he is slowly coming back too. Able to shake his head to respond to questions, and told his brother David that his leg hurt. Such little things can mean so much!!

 Bruce's mom - she has had vascular problems with both legs for a while now. She had decided that the pain was more than she could bear and was going to go through with an amputation. Again, Thank God, that Jeannette and Blake convinced her to go see Dr. Milton in OKC!! We met with them for his evaluation - he believed he could save her legs with bypasses! On her 1st bypass he were able to use her own vein and though a painful recovery, within a couple of weeks that legw as so much better! The color was back to normal and pain was much better, now for the other leg. That one he was unable to use her own vein so had to use an artificial one, recovery seemed to be more painful for her but at her followup appointment he gave her a rave review!!
My allergies have been so bad that we've decided to head down to Galveston to see if I can get better now. Continued praise to God and continued prayers for healing for all.
