Update

Justin had surgery on Friday night again... He is in agony following this skin graft. One of the biggest challenges is that he cannot sit or lie on his leg without lying on an area that is weeping from being either a donor sight or that is raw from being a fresh graft site. He wails in pain, and then calmly wills the pain away.
He will be in the hospital for at 2 more months but they are taking it a day at a time and hoping that he can keep his leg. He still suffers from the infection but it is beginning to look better.
He has also paralyzed his voice box so he is still unable to talk as well as he would like. The paralization came from having the ventilator in for such a long time frame. The doctors said they will allow him to talk this way for 30 days before anything can be done. Justin doesn't like it but it is the least of his worries.
Thank you for all your support and prayers...
