My goodness, that is a lot to deal with. Lawrence has the trech it is much easier on them. He also lost his right foot and so far up his leg. He is still under and has been since July 8. Its been tough, and he is 2 1/2 hours away so we only get to see him every couple of weeks, sometimes longer. It depends on if I can get a baby sitter or what hubby has plans. He watches them most of the time when I go but he needs free time on weekends too.
I also lost my mom in Nov 2004! It has been a rough couple of years. I miss her dearly.
Continuing to pray for John and your whole family!
