Cricket, yes my DH had his foot and lower leg amputated on July 28th of last year. The infection got to the point it could not be controlled anymore. They had tried to save his foot by taking 2 bones out and he nearly died during that surgery from blood loss. Two weeks later they had to amputate. He is much healthier now since the infection is gone. But it has been a hard blow.

Now for our great news. DH got a leg today!!!!!!!! He can walk again using the roller aid walker. That is the walker with the wheels and seat. They had given it to him when he had one of his previous surgeries. He walked from the van up the ramp and into the house with it. It is going to take him a while to build up his strength enough to walk without help but it is such an exciting thing to see him up and walking instead of sitting in the chair. We don't know how we will pay for it and they didn't say anything about it when they gave him the leg. It was made especially for him. We will trust God to make a way for us to pay for it. He never fails us. This is a wonderful blessing.
