Update on Grandpa

Josh's grandpa is doing very well. The doctors are pretty sure he will be able to keep his foot. They have it in a pressurized oxygen chamber to help the tissue heal quicker. As it heals they doctors will cut away any of the tissue that isn't getting blood to it, so we're not sure how the complete outcome will be. I just can't imagine how painfull all the scar tissue is going to be. He has a great attitude about the whole thing. The oxygen chamber is making his blood extremley rich in oxygen so he isn't having to wear his glass. The doctors told him his improved eye sight will only last as long as his foot is in the chamber, but it's still pretty cool and I'm sure it's incouraging to him considering he's been in a hospital room for over two weeks. Thanks for your prayers.
