It is sunny and a very humid 88 degrees here in West Palm Beach. I think it was 34 degrees when we left home on Monday. We love the palm trees!
John Thomas was in a lot of pain after surgery. It was so heartbreaking to watch! Praise the Lord for Nurse Ellen. As soon as John Thomas was admitted into her care, she has been able to keep his pain managed. We are so grateful!
Here's the first glimpse of the fixator. Since the caps are orange, John Thomas said it's for the Longhorns. Oh how this smile melts our hearts!
John Thomas loves Rocky! He has seen all of the movies and even recently watched the latest one, Creed. You can imagine his delight when Brad found Rocky III on the TV....I think they're going to have all of the Rocky movies on this channel tonight. High Five, Jesus!
We have a long road ahead of us! Dr. Feldman said that the hip did collapse and hopefully this fixator with 6 pins will do its job. John Thomas will wear this for 4 months....we've actually already scheduled the removal for May 5th. There is a chance that another surgery will be needed. Brad and I are praying along with you, our prayer warriors, that this will heal our Mr. Man and no more surgeries will be needed. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we begin physical therapy and pin cleaning tomorrow: trying to get used to our "new normal". Through your generosity, love, and prayers, we believe with all of our hearts that John Thomas is on his way to BIG steps!

All our love,
Janay and Brad
May God bless and keep you all in the shadow of His wing. John Thomas has a smile that God created to woo us all for many years to come! Of that, I am certain‼️ Your family will remain on my prayer list and on that of my home team.
