"A Robot is moving Daddy's Arm!" --Emma

We have lots of praise to give our Lord Jesus Christ tonight. The Dr. was able to get to 120 degrees flection and 20 degrees extension officially, however the physician assistant told Jerrod that he actually got further than that. We got home early this evening and got Jerrod set up in the bed with the CPM (Constant Passive Motion) machine. Right now he already has a range of motion with the machine of 120 degrees flection and 15 degrees extension. Wow! Already! He is planning on uping it more in the wee hours of the morning. Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus! His arm is numb from the nerve block (it's working so far--yay!) He can feel it stretch some and a little pain during the stretches, but it is minimal. Thank you all so much for your prayers! Please continue to pray that Jerrod will be able to keep this range of motion. Also pray for his therapy sessions that they are a huge success. Please also pray for the therapist, as it takes a lot out of her to stretch Jerrod's arm. Also please pray for our financial situation, as all these trips to Indy have taken our toll on our finances. And lastly, please pray for me and the kiddos, as this time is a bit stressful for all of us.
