What you have all been waiting for....Drum Roll PLEASE

Henry is on the next step to recovery!

On Tuesday September 7th Henry will go to Hammott for a surgery to remove the stabilizing bar from his pelvis and work on his left knee. His left knee is the leg that was degloved and he has not been able to move that leg so it has locked up and they believe has some calcification.

He got to sit up some tonight, well not quite upright because he does still have the bar. He was moved to the side of the bed and got to put his feet on the ground!!! After 2 months of laying down he did get a bit lite headed and his legs numbed up a bit but what a great step.

We are soo excited to hear Henry is moving to the next stage to recovery. Of course with each new step there is going to be pain and mental preparedness. I am sure it will be a shock to realize the little thing he has always done will take some work for a little while. We all know Henry is very strong and we ask everyone just to keep on praying for his strength and determination to help through the next phase.

Sorry the update took so long!!
