Micah update!



We FINALLY got the refferal for Micah to see a surgeon here. When we got there, they took the plaster cast off to look at the stitches underneath. The wounds look GREAT! The surgeon in Chile did such an amazing job with Micah that both areas were healing SO well! For as bad as they looked before the surgery, they look so good now! I am so happy with that and so incredibly thankful for such an amazing surgeon in Chile. Once the stitches were out, they took some xrays (just to be 100% sure that the bone was good) and then recasted the leg. Micah is now in a walking cast (although he still uses the wheelchair because he gets so tired from walking with the cast on and we don't want to put TOO much pressure on the tendons). He is in the cast for about 2 more weeks and then he will have it off. Once the cast is off for good, he will need some physical therapy because his ankle is incredibly stiff. He can't make the walking motion with his foot, so he will need some work on that. We are so happy that Micah is healing so well and I can't wait until he is 100% again!
