Helton Update

We completed our 10th surgery yesterday with good results. We are starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but we are scheduled to return to the hospital starting again next week. We are being told that he will be admitted again and will be in for another week. We continue to be blessed with the generosity of our friends and families. We owe so many thank you's it is impossible to recognize everyone. The prayers are uplifting and helping more than we can explain. Helton is in good spirits on the days he doesn't have procedures, but has high anxiety on his procedure days. He still refuses pain medicine and doesn't like anesthesia at all. He is usually fine after an hour or so after recovery, but that first hour is rough. The reason for next week is to have a skin graft next Wednesday to start covering up the large wound area.  And of course some happy pictures too...
