Praise for Mom

As you may have read in previous posts, my mom has been enduring a foot wound since September 30, 2005. She had her third surgery last week, and we are really encouraged. What makes this surgery different from the other two? First, the surgeon "cleaned out" her foot completely. Second, she is using a vac in her foot that is sucking up all the fluid and moisture (as opposed to her foot draining and soaking her bandages which can hinder healing and lead to infection).

Mom has absolutely no infection in her foot now--not staph, not strep... nothing! We consider this surgery a blessing from God and an answer to everyone's prayers.

She is recovering nicely. She uses a knee walker to get around. It is like a regular walker except it has a cushion for her to rest her knee on, so she is not walking at all on her foot.

My mom is up-beat and looking forward to being able to walk on both feet again. Thank you all again for your faithful prayers. You guys have helped us so much by letting us know you're praying and checking up on her progress from time to time. You guys are awesome and great examples of prayer warriors!
