You Guys Surpass Any Expectation, Everytime!

As far as Tannner goes, he broke his Ulna and his Radius and was surgery bound, until you guys stepped in! Your prayers changed everything! When we visited the Orthopedist Friday afternoon, he told us the Dr's in the Trauma Center set his arm perfect, laterally and missed just a bit on the other, but said it was close enough to his "growth plate", and should heal very nicely without surgery. He goes back this Friday for more xrays to make sure this temporary cast is keeping his bones in place. If so, then they will leave him in it for 2 weeks as swelling is better tolerated in it and then put a hard cast possibly right over this one. He is still pretty drugged up, but is thankful and gracious whenever he requires someones help.
While it is disappointing that his hard work and total dedication will go without reward, we are grateful that it was this and not something more serious.
A little insight into Tanner's "spirit"...when his coach came over and told Tanner his wrist was obviously broken, Tanner replied, "but Coach, I'm starting today". Gotta love that!
SHS beat EHS 34-0....go Mustangs!;)

Romans 8:26
The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

Pray On!
