We had some terriffic news from Malynda's doctor. Malynda broke her elbow on June 26. She had surgery June 28 with 3 pins. She went in for her 2 week check up on July 11 and the doctor was surprised on how well her arm was healing. He honestly thought that she was going to have to wear a cast for 6-8 weeks. He suprised us and told us that she could have her pins taken out the following Friday as long as she kept her arm safe and did her exercizes.
We took her this past Friday July 18 (3 weeks after the break) and the doctor did another x-ray and said that she was ready to have her pins taken out. Malynda was really worried that it would hurt so both Keith and I stayed with her. I held her and Keith talked to her and when the doctor took out the pins Malynda said that it didn't hurt at all. It was uncomfortable and she had to take a break after the 2nd one came out. She thought she was going to throw up but did very well.
She had to wear a gauze around her elbow (no sling) after she left the doctor and today was her first day with just a bandage. The doctor suprised her and told her as soon as her scabs fall off, she can go SWIMMING!!! She might have a summer after all. When we were leaving the doctor's office she yelled out "I LOVE JESUS CHRIST. THANK YOU JESUS FOR HEALING MY ARM!!!"
Thank you so much for your prayers. I do have a testimony of the priesthood and of prayers. Thanks again. I love you all and miss you very much.
