At last the halo came off! Oh happy day! The right leg looks good, and the neck is healing--not healed but healing. Timothy now has a collar which we expected, the right leg has a "boot" to keep the foot from drooping, and the left leg continues to have a brace. His "nursing" care is down to a dressing on the right leg (just for a short time), the bone stimulation treatments each morning, and pills. Therefore, I will not be spending all my time at his house. He is steady enough on his walker that we don't fear that he will fall, and he can take care of his basic needs. He will still need someone to cook food, wash clothes, and clean house--not too much different than before the injury! As for food, we have had some wonderful meals brought to us this week. Thanks neighbors!

We will never be able to thank everyone enough who has supported us through this ordeal, but we do appreciate every act of kindness and every caring deed. Thanks everyone for keeping up with us. This will be my last blog entry. Please come see us, drop us a note at PO Box 376, Oregon, MO, 64473 or e-mail us at cdannar@ofmlive.net.

We have come a long way, and the journey will continue as Timothy mends and surgery is completed on the left knee in the future, but I think in time he will make a full recovery.

I feel that your prayers and mine were answered.
