Enjoying life before the accident. Josh was about 14-15 years old. He and his friends made their own bike jumps.

About Me

My photo
We have 5 children and 5 grandchildren with one on the way. Eric and I were married in 1984 and are still together today. We met in church and raised our kids in that same church, We are still very involved at this same church. God has been there for us through many ups and downs in our family life. We have struggled with children with ADD, hyperactivity, strong wills, addictions, and one that became paralyzed at the age of 15 due to a car-pedestrian accident...he was the pedestrian. Eric and I have had to work through relationship issues (as do most couples), job loss, and financial problems. Even though we are believers, that doesn't mean we will never have problems. We just know that God is there for us through these struggles. There has been a lot of growth through these times.

Update: Surgery took a little over four hours. Everything went really well. I gave the surgeon a HUGE hug! There was enough tissue in his thigh to completely fill in the hole that the pressure sore created(which was pretty big). The surgeon said the tissue in the pressure sore looked healthy. She did remove some of the infected bone and even sent bone and tissue samples for a culture to just be safe. Josh will be at the Lacks Center part of St Mary's Hospital for a couple days before being moved to a facility to recover for six weeks. We are waiting in Josh's room for him to be brought up from post-op recovery. We are extremely excited with the results so far!
