First foot surgery this Friday.

Mitch is having his first of four foot surgeries (2 per foot) this Friday. The doctor will be reconstructing his foot to straighten it out (3 different procedures). The surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am at the MidTowne Surgery Center in Grand Rapids. It is an outpatient surgery which is supposed to last about 2-1/2 hours with 1-1/2 hour recovery time. Please pray for Dr. Maskill, the nurses and others involved. Dr. Maskill said that Mitch's foot is one of his biggest challenges but feels that he can make the foot better.

The plan is to have this surgery and then, hopefully, 6 weeks later another surgery to straighten the toes. After straightening out the toes, he will have a 3-month recovery. Then we start all over with the other foot.

I guess patience and a quick recovery would be another thing to pray for.

Thanks!
