Oh, lets see where are we....????? Zane still continues to get stronger!! Hopefully by the end of May he will be back to doing some walking with his forearms crutches!! We will get an x-ray of his legs/ankles this month and see what the dr says about putting more weight on his legs.

Rick's surgery went well. The pain he had before the surgery from the herniated disk is basically gone!!!! He has 'surgery' pain, and is on a restricted recovery, such as not lifting over 10 lbs for 4 more weeks. He is to walk around, and take walks....(I did have the Dr., and nurses clarify this to him, so as to not have him doing his recovery from the couch :) He has been fairly obediant. Basically, they told him, that if he messes up this recovery time, the next surgery is not as easy or forgiving. He can actually be stronger than before when all is said and done!! He has suffered from back pain for many years, but the pain was very bad for the last couple months!! So, we rejoice that this has been a positive decision for him!
Thanks for your prayers and for checking in on us!!!
We love you all!!
