Tomorrow, Tim, Erika, and I will be heading back to Montreal. Tim will be admitted to the Shriner's Hospital on Wednesday morning. On Thursday, Tim will be having surgery on his right femur. This is a very delicate surgery. Tim broke this leg in the car accident 2 years ago. The rod and bone are bowing more. If Tim is going to do more walking this leg needs to be fixed. Dr. Fassier will take the old bent rod out and cut the femur bone in 2 spots to straighten the leg and then place a new rod. They are telling us to plan on the surgery taking most of the day. Tim will loose a lot of blood. He will most likely need a couple of transfusions. After the surgery, the big fear is that the femur pieces can rotate on the new rod. That would not be good. We covet your prayers! God is good! He is faithful! This is a step out in faith to help Tim gain back his ability to walk. There is risk involved but Tim is 100% sure he needs to keep pushing forward. God can do anything but fail! We are trusting Him totally!
Prayer requests:
- Safe travels
- Our family members that would love to be with us but can't (we are split up again as a family during a hard time)
- That the old rod comes out well
- That the new rod goes in well
- That there would be minimal blood lose
Love, The Boschs Kevin, Debra, Chris, Erika, Allison, & Tim
