Walking man.

Greatest quote of recent months, said by Aaron last night on the phone. You have to imagine it said in that sing-song voice kids use when they say "Nanny nanny boo boo" for it to have its full effect:

"I've got leee-eegs. I've got leee-eegs."

As of yesterday, Aaron does indeed have two legs for the first time since March. At his first session, he used his new leg for an hour, just getting used to the feel of it and learning to bear weight a little. He'll build up his ability to use it every day from now on. Initially, the process can be painful, but Aaron said that aside from a little soreness, he didn't feel much pain. The leg he is using now is heavier and less flexible than what his final prosthetics will be like, mostly to give him added stability and build strength while he learns to walk again. But at this point, I think Aaron is just thrilled to have it. Again, we're all so thankful to have reached this point, and we thank you for your prayers for Aaron and all of us. I hope we can get some pictures of Aaron walking around soon to post here so you can see it for yourself.
As a matter of housekeeping, I still don't have an address for Aaron and Kelly, and I apologize. It's on my list of things to ask about the next time I talk to them.
