Hi all,  Joel is at 13 and a half weeks now and all done with the recovery phase of his surgery.  He will however go to Cardio Rehab for a few more weeks just to transition to work.  He needs to work at strength and endurance now.  He can lift weights and swim now which is great.  He is doing very well but still needs to lay down for an hour after work.  We are very happy with how well everything is going.  So this is the last journal entry.  
We want to thank everyone for your prayers and thoughts and giving.  You have helped us tremendously and we are very grateful!  We hope you have a wonderful year!
