February 9, 2013 Update

Hey,
Hi guys i thought since i had some free time i could update this week was pretty bad only because i managed to get the swine flu. The doctor put me on antibiotics so i am feeling better. Since i was sick i missed a lot of school. That was a bummer because missing a week of school means playing catch up. So other than that though it has been all smiles around here my mom is staying positive and my Jaycee and dad are staying busy. In fact, Jaycee gets to go to a leadership conference next weekend.

On the fourteenth we are going down to Shriners to see the doctor. I am actually excited because when we go to checkups after my surgery they result in good news. This time my therapist says that they will tell me to get rid of knee immobilizers completely. I asked her if it was a possibility that they would say i could move into articulating braces but she said i would have to stay in these 90 degree braces for a year post-op. This may seem like a long time but really it isn't because i have already been in them for over six months. As always i feel your prayers everyday and am so grateful for them.

Thank You All,
Chandler

Fevruary 1, 2013 Update

Hi all,
Sorry that i have not updated you in a while i feel bad. If Elder Dryer or his parents are reading this post then here is your update:). It has been a great week. My parents are in Hawaii so i have spent time with my aunt and uncle. On the surgery side of things it is all going well. I have an appointment on Valentines Day with the doctors at Shriners. My therapist said that there is a really good chance that after that appointment i will not have to wear my knee immobilizers at night anymore so i am pretty excited about that! My aid Kevin has left so i am sad but we still keep in contact. I guess to look at that from a positive point of view I look at it as just another milestone. I will miss Big Chico Burger though. Two weeks ago my dad took me driving at a ranch for my first time. It was so fun! It looks as though i may be able to use foot controls instead of hand. My dad also said that i drove better than he thought i would. So that has been a look into the life of me!

Thank You For All Your Hugs, Prayers, and Support,

Chandler
