Good morning. It is beautiful here this morning. Nice and cool and breezy.

Please pray for David today. We are going to have the pain meds be 'as needed' today and see how things go. We don't want the pain to get out of control, but he hates taking medicine, so we want to wean him off of it. Please pray that the pain just doesn't get unmanageable. Thanks.

Also, I forgot to mention that the doctor said there might be a bit more swelling this time around. He said that he opened David's knee and scraped scar tissue away. Then when he put the 'screwdriver' in to crank the screw to lengthen the rod there was too much scar tissue in the way. So he got out the 'munchers' (his words) and munched away the scar tissue. He said scar tissue releases fluid into the knee, so there might be more swelling this time. But we can pray that there won't be, can't we? So please pray that his knee doesn't swell too bad. Thanks.

Gotta run. Have a good day. I will let you know how things go today with David's pain. Thanks for checking in. God bless you. We love you.
