Well Chris got up out of bed for the first time. It was extremely painful, and on top of it he ran out of the pain killer just as they began. Which did not make the event any easier, but we praise you Lord, he was able to stand up. He will be exercising his leg during the day and then they will get him up again tomorrow.
Chris is doing very well, he slept pretty good last night which was a huge blessing. Many of his friends came to visit yesterday, which was such an encouragement to him. Even though he did not feel that great and was not his usual social self, he was obviously happy to just listen to the various conversations going on around him. The one unfortunate thing was one group coming from Cal Poly got into a car accident, praise you Lord that none of the boys were hurt, but they could not continue on to visit.
Chris surgeon also came by last night and seemed very pleased. It was nice to see him and again hear how the Lord really did orchestrate some amazing things during the operation. He even said a doctor who was there from UCLA was impressed with how the procedure went. We know that was due to our amazing Lord's intervention on behalf of all of you who have prayed for Chris.
Blessings, ~ Dawn

I'm so happy to hear that Chris is doing well. What a blessing to love another, encourage one another, and pray for each other. Sorry to hear that it was painful for Chris' first time up and on his feet. I bet as his parents you find it difficult to not want to just pick him up in your arms and take the pain away, to carry him again like he was a little boy. Well even though you cannot physically do that anymore, Jesus can and from what we all know about our AWESOME GOD that is exactly what HE does for all of HIS children in need. HE carries us!! Amen and Amen. Continuing to lift your family in prayer to the Throne Room of the Most High and the Most Nigh God. Peace be with you, Lori
We are praying for you guys! Love you very much! Glad to hear things are moving along smoothly as they can!
Dearest Champions, thank you for sharing in all that you are going through. You truly amaze me with your strength. Our family is standing in prayer and fighting with you. Our Wed. group is praying for you also. I am so inspired by the amazing testimony of how God was right there in the hospital room with Chris, and orchestrated the whole thing. You all give the meaning to faith. Thank you!! We miss you all, and are here to help when you get home. All our love & prayers, Kier & family
