Good News for Pedro

At his appointment this morning Pedro received some good news. His handicap problem (leg & arm) is a result of a severe trauma shortly after birth causing a disconnect in his brain for his involuntary motor system. (if you look at Pedro's forehead you can see two very severe scars across the right side of his forehead, evidently caused by blunt force trauma) The doctor said it is a fairly common condition and one that can be improved upon. With two incisions on his heal tendon Pedro's foot will fall to reach the floor like it should...it will never be normal, but it will less abnormal is how the doctor explained it. It will definitely help Pedro in his everyday walking. We're hoping to get him scheduled in about one month. Thank you, Jesus for this connection and in faith thank you for helping to improve Pedro's ability to move around!

There's a stray dog in the area and Joyce and the kids are all badgering me to allow them to keep it! Just what I was thinking about...one more mouth to feed & one more butt to watch!
