Hi to All, there is so much that I could say but I seem to be short on words these days.

Chris has now been outside the hospital world since November.

There is so much that is still not back to normal living. He knows this and is taking it all in stride, making the best of what he has and with the fact there is still so much more that will not be what was normal for some time yet, but what is ‘the norm’… for now.

But this is the road he must walk and he is doing it with strength and help from God and encouragement from family, friends and strangers who have become part of his life.

He has the most amazing positive attitude; he has an inner strength that sustains him.

He has begun a “two to three year process” that will return his face and jaw, teeth back to ‘normal.’ WE are looking for a superceding miracle in this area. There have been so many miracles and we are so thankful for all of them and so thankful that we know Our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think.

Tomorrow Chris is going into St. Paul’s for surgery on his arm. He will be there for a few days.

We will post on the blog www.xangelle.com/blog what room he is in.

WE are asking Jesus to use the Doctor’s skills and knowledge to help and in the end…

We are expecting to see complete recovery in his arm and hand. Please stand with us in agreement on this.

He will be on a machine for the next 3 weeks, which will keep his arm passively active 24 hours a day….

Or something like that…. We will know more after the surgery when we talk with the Doctor.

Love Karen (tomorrow is my birthday… I turn 50 something.)
