Medical Update
For those of you who have been asking about my wife's progress after her injury, we went back to the hand specialist on Tuesday and found out another surgery is in order. On the 28th, they will go in to insert a plate into her wrist.
As it turns out, her wrist is not setting right and, if left untreated, she has a 90-95% chance of developing severe arthritis, at which time an operation would be needed anyway, with the results being highly questionable. If we do the surgery now, there is the same percent chance of full recovery with only a mild chance for arthritis later in life. Therefore, the decision was something of a no-brainer, though neither of us are excited about the prospect of going through the process again.
Please continue to pray for our family as we continue down this road to recovery...and thanks to all of you who have continued to ask about her and pray for her. It means a lot.
Oh, and for those of you who like this sort of thing, here is a picture of her current contraption.
