a few people have been asking – really there wasn’t much to say until after he saw the orthopedic surgeon yesterday.  he’s healing well, and although he will be wearing his brace for another 6-8 weeks, he can take it off to sleep.  it’s not very comfortable to lay down in, so that is a blessing.  he’s still pretty sore a lot of the time, but is able to do more with Josh and is generally on the mend.  we are really thankful for your continued prayers on his behalf.
