Steve has been making steady progress since the last post. He says he has fifty percent less pain, he has stopped wearing the brace and is reducing his medications. He walks outside twice a day but needs to be careful not to overdo it. Hope for a more normal future has returned. We are so thankful!

The anti-fungal meds don't seem to have many side-effects for which we are most grateful. He will be on them at least six more weeks. The doctors are encouraging and we check in with them once a month or so.

Ps. 59:16-17 "But as for me, I will sing about your power. I will shout with joy each morning because of your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety in the day of distress. O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love."
