And Jack's NEW journey begins....

Yesterday was the first phase of the second half of Jack's journey. Yes...he has made it safely home to us from China...but his little feet need some correction. Enter...Dr. Bob!! Hallelujah! We've had our first appointment (including a house call!) and you can see phase one below. Jack's little feet in the first picture are clearly pointed inward. XRays showed good news as the correction is not nearly as severe as it could have been...but we'll be in casts and enduring surgery nonetheless. Jack is currently in casts as seen below...below the knee so he can still crawl (PTL!) They are heavy for him but he is figuring out ways to keep mobile. He can still pull himself up and put weight on his feet but he can't really walk around furniture like he could without the casts. No worries...he is not crying because he is in pain...he was irritated that I was making him sit still for the picture. :) Next step? Surgery on Dec 31st. His heel tendon needs lengthening in order for his heel to sit flat as it needs to. We are in Dr. Bob's capable hands and in the Lord's loving arms. Please continue to pray.
