Surgery--A Success!

Thanks for all of your prayers.

Surgery went great! Matthew did really well and the orthopedist showed me the pics of Matthew's now in-place arm/elbow. Recovery has been okay. Matthew's still in a lot of pain and the meds have made him a bit more emotional than usual, but we're glad he's home.

Thanks to so many of you who have helped us out. A dear friend kept David through the entire process and listened while I had my melt down and then, encouraged me.

My sweet mother traveled down here, though her health is not well at this time, in order to be here for us. She sure made a grandson overcome with happiness and relief to see a face who loves him so completely. (David is just as thrilled to see her!)

The missionaries and a dear brother from the ward came and administered to Matthew while he stayed overnight in the hospital.

The young women made us dinner and a leader brought it to us.

Countless phone calls have been received on our part.

Thanks so much for your wishes of good health and a quick recovery. Thanks for your prayers and service. It means more than words can say.
