Update On Tanner

Next Thursday, Tanner will be going in for surgery on his left leg.  No matter how hard we try to prepare, I don't think, in fact I know,  we could do it with out our Father in Heaven on our side. Tanner will be in surgery for about 5-6 hours total.  His 2 lower leg bones will be purposely cut below the knee and above the ankle.  The goal is for the leg to straighten out, for now and so he won't break his leg as often.  He will be in a cast for 8 weeks total, with one cast change at 4 weeks.  During his 8 weeks, he CAN NOT put any pressure on this leg.  At 8 weeks the cast will come off, and he will have about 2 months to learn how to walk again.  Then we go back into surgery to remove the wires holding his legs together.  This will be a definite faith builder.  We will be praying for him always.
