Hi everyone!
Thank you again for your prayers and your emails of encouragement. I will be giving a quick update tonight but hope to answer everyone personally over the next couple of days.
So dad went in to see the foot doctor, and the doctor said that the bone is not healing together like they hoped it would. They decided to put a hard cast on his foot. Please pray that we get in to see someone soon- the specialist recommended to us decided not to see dad because he was not the "original" doctor. Which doesn't make sense to us, but God closes a door for a reason.

As I mentioned before, we are looking into the proton therapy. It is a two month treatment option, so he would most likely move to one of the locations. Thank you for telling us what you know about this therapy and offering us phone numbers and names of people who have been through this before. I read him the "new" emails tonight and he is very grateful for all of your prayers and your information on this alternative therapy.

Of course, he still has his sense of humor through all of this. Just a moment ago, my parents were watching "The Twilight Zone" on television. (I use the term "watching" tv loosely because we always talk and do other things while "watching" television). Mom says, "How is it you've seen this movie, and I haven't?" Dad says, "We had television [growing up.]"
So we all had a good laugh at that.

Prayer requests now are that we will get in to the right doctor for his ankle to start healing properly. With Christmas coming up they are getting hard to book. Waiting two more weeks isn't good in case the ankle needs to be set again- surgery has been recommended now because of the extent of the break. Dad says he will go to the hardware store and get his own titanium screws and pins. (Kidding.)

If this email seems a bit "off" I am very, very tired and am not up to my writing par. That is the reason and not the critic's view of home-schooling's inadequacies :)

Love you all and sending a "thank you" from dad-

Chelsea
