Really need to catch up....

Time seems to be flying by and also standing still at the same time. I know that sounds very confusing or weird, but that's just how it seems.
It's been 3 months since my last post and a lot has happened.
Allen was in a motorcycle accident on June 30th, which was Brandy's birthday, and was in the hospital for 3 weeks. He had to have half of his right foot amputated. He is now on crutches and is getting around pretty well on one leg. The surgeons don't know when he'll be able to walk on the foot again but hopefully with a lot of work and prayers, it will be sometime before Christmas.
He has some good days and bad days and a whole lot of bad nights.
His spirits are like riding a rollercoaster, up and down.
I wish that I could magically make all of his pain go away but our world doesn't work that way. The reality is that it's going to take months and months for him to get back to himself and to be totally healed. I have to clean the wound and redress the foot every night. This puts him in pain and I hate being the one to make it hurt.
I pray that the foot heals properly and that another amputation will not be necessary. Please pray with me.
