Tim's surgery was done at DeVos Children's today. It went well. We are home now!! Yeah! He is sore and a bit nauseated but it is good to be back home. Dr. Cassidy was pleased with how it went. The wire had worked it's way a long way up into Tim's shoulder. He had to straighten out the original fracture site and reposition the wire back over the facture site. The hope and prayer is that it stays put. Thank you for all the prayers, notes, texts.....

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that
This is where we as a family are trying to live! In reckless abandon to our Lord and Savior. Tim's prayer yesterday was for Satan "to bring it on!" No matter what Satan throws at us we will praise our Lord and Savior!!!!!

More Surgery

I know it has been awhile since an update. It has been a long journey since the accident. Tim has had a lot of pain. In the last weeks the pain in his right arm/shoulder has been intense. "I can not live like this Mom. Something has to be wrong!" We finally got our answer this week after visits to the ER's and doctors. The wire in Tim's arm has shifted up and is over an inch out of the bone stabbing into Tim's shoulder. Tim is scheduled for surgery at DeVos Children's on Monday, July 23. They hope to reset Tim's arm and push the wire back into place. We have also sent the films up to Montreal. The surgery at DeVos would help with the pain but there is nothing preventing the wire from slipping back up into the shoulder. If there is enough bone in the arm maybe Dr. Fassier would try to attempt putting a rod back in. That would be a much more permanent fix but a surgery with a lot more risk. Please pray! God has this all under control.
