Little Faith Walker’s Progress

Well, it’s now been a little over 4 days since Asher’s recent surgery. This surgery definitely brought him much more pain than the one before. He kept telling us that his left foot was hurting so much more than his right ever did right after surgery. He said it felt like someone just dropped a big brick on his foot. Aimee was just having to be proactive in keeping his pain under control.

Now, we definitely know why he’s felt that extra pain. One, because they pulled out the plates and screws from both of the growth plates his knees. That hardware was much more than we had anticipated was put in there. Secondly, they did much more invasive surgery in this foot. They sought to create a deeper arch and had to put 3 pins in his foot to stabilize things. These pins will be taken out in 6 weeks along with his cast.

All that said, today has been a big breakthrough day. He hasn’t taken any narcotics or pain relievers all day. His pain seems to be totally under control. He just needs to keep resting and healing in God’s timing. Getting around is very difficult, but as soon as his knees feel better, he’ll be getting around on a knee scooter. We all greatly appreciate your continued prayers.
