With Beth and Naomi's (physical therapist) encouragement, James was able to walk around the ward aisle and even up to the bathroom! He was quite slow since the cast on his leg goes from his thigh all the way down to his foot which makes his left leg quite heavy. We are hopeful that by tomorrow, James will be doing better with his new crutches and be prepared to be discharged to continue with recovery at their home. God is indeed good!

It was a happy moment between James, Beth, and their new found friends in the ward. They were joking about how social distancing has forced people to be shouting when talking! Besides some shouting, James has been recovering well and he's already scheduled for a light physical therapy session later today. Let's continue praying for James and Beth with their new friends during their time here at CURE!

James has had his surgery! The operation involved two procedures. The first corrected specific deformities in his femur (the long bone in the upper leg) and his hip joint. The second allowed for the realignment of his tibia (lower leg) and thereby shifting the weight-bearing access to the healthier portion of his knee, correcting the alignment deformity. We thank God for getting James this far!
