mas surgery?

we had our annual visit yesterday to the texas children's hospital in houston and the surgeon said to come back in 8 months for another evaluation. if at that time his arm is not better than he will undergo surgery #5.

please pray specifically for his arm to be able to supinate another 10-15 degrees - essentially to be able to turn his hand palm up. the doc said that aqua therapy is probably the best thing to do, so you guessed it...my new weekend project is to put in a pool. nothing fancy, just something deep enough to do some exercises.

just fyi - we're going for a healing on this one. even though the doc said the surgery is an easy one, i don't want to do it. i need some new personal God stories, and this one looks like a good one.
