Mel had the shoulder replacement surgery 3 weeks ago today. He has been coming along pretty well. There was a lot of pain in the beginning. He is slowly getting better and the pain is minimizing.
Therapy started 4 days after the surgery. He is going 2 days a week so they can move his arm and get the joint moving. He is not allowed to lift anything with it, not even his own arm! The doctor realigned the biceps and that is the reason that he can not move the arm. The therapist does all the work. They call it passive range of motion therapy. Hopefully he will be able to move it and work it soon. He is in an arm sling and will be for another 3 - 5 weeks.
At this time, it looks like we will be here in Zephryhills until after Easter. We then plan on heading to Tioga, PA to stay at Ive's Run Park and work for the Army Corps of Engineers and help out in Tioga County and the surrounding area.
We both would like to thank everyone for their prayers for us while we are on the road doing what we can for others. We especially want to thank you for your prayers during Mel's time of recovery.
As you are led by God, we ask that you prayerfully consider helping us through monetary donations. We have found that the cost of moving to the places where God is sending us is very expensive. We would also like to be able to contribute more supplies and other needed items at the places where we are helping.
