Road to Recovery

My heart has been heavy and burdened for our friends, the Startups and their baby boy Copeland. I know my last post was urging for prayer. Those of you who follow me on Facebook or Twitter have been updated through that, but if you haven't, please take time to check out Will's blog at http://willlaurenstartup.blogspot.com/. Copeland has made tons of progress and the Lord's Hand over all of it has been so evident. Thank you to all that have been praying for this sweet family. I have been blessed beyond words and inspired by our sweet friend's faith thru this journey. They still have a road ahead of them, so please keep them in prayer.

Our situation seems so minimal after putting things into perspective with what Copeland and the Startups are experiencing. God has been good and gracious to us through this rehab journey. Daniel recently got his cast off and stitches out, YAY! The doctor commented on how beautiful Daniel's hand is healing. We are happy to be moving forward. There have been moments where we have caught ourselves being disappointed or upset over our situation, but again, it's all about PERSPECTIVE. And again, people are dealing with far more harder situations. Instead of being upset we have decided to choose joy. We have always said that our desire is to glorify our Lord thru baseball and if this is where He has us right now, I'm confident He will use it for His glory. All is looking good for Daniel to be back playing mid to late July. He has full mobility and function already over his hand and is getting daily rehab on it at the field. Thank you to all who have been praying :)

Love this pic!



Next Picture is one of Daniel's hand during surgery (pretty gruesome)-so scroll down with CAUTION.












Doctor took pic of Daniel's hand during surgery. That is his actual hamate bone that broke that is on his hand. They just completely removed it. Second pic is 2 weeks after surgery with stitches out.
