We are home. Jon had carpal tunnel surgery this morning. It's pretty amazing, really. We left home about 6:45, drove an hour, had surgery and recovery time, and drove an hour home and were back in town by 11:15. WOW!!! He is resting and seems to be doing fine. There will be ice for a few days and pain pills for at least 24 hours along with elevation and light use of his fingers. No lifting over 2 pounds till he goes back on the 25th. He honestly feels like he already has improved sensation in his fingertips which had become quite numb...that's good news!!!
Thanks to all of you for your continued prayers for a full recovery. It's been a long 6 months for a man that has never been one to "take it easy". He's really hoping to be able to function at 100% again soon. I'm doing some catching up here this afternoon and keeping track of "ice on" and "ice off".
Thanks again!!!!

Greg's Birthday!
We had a wonderful weekend in Grand Forks with Jon, Kelli, Bria, and Emmy! We did some shopping, played some games, watched some movies, and did some painting. Some of us even squeezed in some naps! We went to watch the girls skate, but it didn't last long because the ice wasn't very good due to warmer temps.
Tomorrow Jon will have carpal tunnel surgery on his right wrist that he broke in his fall in September. We're praying that this will relieve the nerve pain and numbness that has been getting worse instead of better. He was able to clear quite a bit of the down branches in the yard today...the snow is almost gone...quite a change!
Today is Greg's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GREG!!! The last one before the big 3-0!
Thought for the day
It's always essential that we trust God. Carpal tunnel surgery isn't always successful, but we're trusting Christ for a good outcome. There is always some apprehension with any surgery, but we're trusting Christ. Greg and Megan are traveling soon...we're trusting Christ for a safe trip. We have growing grandchildren...we're trusting Christ to watch over them and make them who He wants them to be. Trust isn't trust if it isn't applied to our day to day circumstances. What are you facing? Trust Christ.
