Re: Prayers for my Wife
 

An update. Had a couple surgies in the last month. Cindy now has a cast on her leg to help keep her foot flat on the ground when she stands. As of right now she is having trouble walking but we are told that will get better with time. It's devestating to see my wife in her condition. She is so afraid she will never walk again. It seems worst then I thought. The Doctors say she is doing good and that she still has at least a year before she heals and can walk again. So we keep plugging away, Mostly happy that we are still alive. I was very happy to see everyone in Brookville. I'm hoping to make it to the New Jersey Meet. We will see. Thank you and God Bless you all.

It's good to hear that Cindy's getting around. Don't let the day-to-day blues get you down, just remember that you have a lot of people that care about you folks.

Still praying for Cindy and your family.

We just passed the 4 month period since our accident and 3 months since Cindy came home. We've had a lot happen but no good news yet. Although she is trying to put weight on her knee, it's just not bending. Physical Therapy says she's improving but with putting weight on her knee, now her pain is just as bad as it was before. Even after saving her leg, the last doctor's appointment we were told that they are gonna see what happens and see how full of motion and range she has in her leg. But then we were told, this is no guarantee, there is a possibility that in 3-5 years they may have to remove her leg if there is no improvement. As of today, Her right leg from the knee down is dead. She has feeling in her foot and toes, she just cant move it. Cindy is more depressed then she's ever been. She is so afraid she will never walk again.
Thank you everyone for the continued thoughts and Prayers. As it looks now, I may be making the trip to ECLC alone. God Bless you all.

Re: Prayers for my Wife
 

Sorry for what you and your family are going through, makes my problems look small.

Re: Prayers for my Wife
 

I'll be sure to say more prayers for Cindy. I thought a little while back she was on her way to recovery, so I'm really sorry to hear things have plateaued a bit. Keep the faith and hang in there.

Hi everyone. Cindy and I have made it passed the 6 month mark since our accident. Cindy has come along good but we were told about 1 month ago that Cindy has made it to the point where medically there is nothing else that can be done. What she suffered from was Compartment Syndrome. She also suffered fiber damage in her knee. To walk she needs 0 degrees (Leg Straight). Cindy's leg will only go to 14 degrees. So she has to walk with her leg partly bent. She hates it, but I remind her of all the good that we still have. Two big ones are no one was killed and thank God our kids were not with us. So since our laptop stopped working I've been using my IPod for all my online stuff. It's been a freakin nightmare. We have gotten a lot of help from my parents and a few neighbors. The most appreciated help is all the Thoughts and Prayers. Thank you for everything.

Thank You Dave. I ended up buying a new laptop. I've been very busy lately and I should slow down some since the cooler weather is here. I'm in the process of building a 24X16 addition on my garage. I have a ton of things to do before winter really sets in.
