October Update

It has been awhile since we have given an update. Here is a quick summary.... Coz's bones have now fully healed. He will live with the plates, pins and screws they put in his leg. He has full extension (straight) and about 100 degrees of flexion (bending) under pain from the physical therapists. He can now walk with a cane and support full weight on the leg for short periods. They are still anticipating 7 or 8 months more rehab.

On the down side some more clots were discovered in the leg when they went to remove the filter he has protecting his lungs. A second attempt was made to remove the filter this week but his blood is still not at a safe level. Both times he has been prepped for surgery and was being wheeled into the operating room when they decided not to proceed. They will monitor his blood levels over the next week or so and make a third attempt, which will hopefully be successful.
Please feel free to email or call for more details.

Also the final court date is set for the 27th of October where the adoption of Saiyeh should be finalized. All the paperwork is now in and it should be a simple hearing. After this is all finished we will schedule a date for a celebration.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers for our family!
