Richard Update 2

Everything went perfectly at Richard's appointment this afternoon.
He is cleared to drive (which means he can come to my first OB appointment tomorrow!!) and start putting more and more weight on his leg. The doctor was very excited to learn that Rich hasn't used any pain meds in the last 3 days and encouraged him to keep stretching his joints to keep them mobile.
God is so good and has taken care of us abundantly on this.
Thank you, again, to everyone who has helped us survive the last two weeks. It's really meant the world to both of us.
Now, at long last, here are some x-rays that we might have stolen from the doctor's office while we were alone in the exam room. Tee hee.

This is an x-ray from Thursday night in the emergency room. Ouch, huh?


This was taken today at the doctor's office. If you look close, you can see where the break is already healing beautifully.






This is an x-ray of Rich's hip, so you can see how far the "nail" goes down his femur and where the screws are.

Yow! I am soooo jealous. :(

My X-rays/CT's/MRI's/Ultrasounds/PET's/Lumbar punctures can't touch that image. Thanks for maybe stealing them so that you could share.

My wife's comment when she just saw this: "Hey, I've got an idea: let's not ever do that!"

Our bodies are amazing and wonderfully made.
