A Long Day

Thanks so much for your prayers and support for Sherri during this time. (my apologies for sending this as a blind copy)

Sherri's had a long day. She's been in surgery a number of hours and is still in the OR at 10pm eastern. The Orthopedic surgeon called after she was finished her part of the surgery and reported that she successfully installed "external fixators" on each leg. These external braces (along with associated pins and or screws) stabilize Sherri's legs and enable the Vascular surgeon to work on her left leg. This is taking quite a bit of time but Wendy just heard from a nurse that it is going well and the Doc wants to get it just right and won't stop until it is so. This procedure is addressing the lack of feeling Sherri had in her left foot today and hopefully is increasing the flow of blood to her lower leg and foot.

Wendy is now at the hospital and Sherri's good friend Amy and cousin Heather are arriving any minute.

Thanks for your many calls and texts both here and especially to Wendy. I'll be in touch again tomorrow.

In the meantime - keep praying!

With appreciation and love,

Steve
