JOSHUA has just sent me this picture. This is the "pin" they took out of his leg. It is not exactly what I thought the pin would look like!!!! He says he is feeling good and not in much pain. Please let this be the last of the nightmare.

Glad to hear he's not in as much pain, tell him to drink lots of milk to help strengthen the bones and a little exercise will also help not only his spirits but his leg.

Poor baby! That made my stomach lurch. No wonder they call it a pin. Goal post was already taken! I'm praying fervently for this young man.

My goodness Sarah that is huge! I pray that Joshua is now on the road to full recovery and that his leg completely heals. I pray also that he won't have to rely on the walking stick for too long. He has such a strong determination to get fit and better. Love Chris

Thank you Dennis for your kind words. The school sent him some work yesterday, so hopefully he will get down and do some homework today.

Not a good sight to see, but knowing that it has saved his leg and that he will be able to walk is wonderful. Walking with a stick is a small price (as if there is such a thing) to be able to walk. So very proud of this young man for all he has gone through and still shows a wonderful attitude. Praying for all of you.

He has got to be so grateful they have been able to save his leg. Now that the giant pin is out I hope the pain and infections will no longer be a problem. Well except when the weather changes and he may get some aching but that will be a small aggravation probably for the rest of his life.

Thank you Anita. At the moment he is walking with a stick and putting very little weight on it.

Have to admit that "a pin" in my imagination was a little smaller too. Hope everything is healing now without further problems.
Hugs to you, Bettina

He is incredibly brave & just the site of it must make him grateful that it is out & he is doing well I am praying that he stays strong! He has gone through so much & his strength, faith & good medical team has kept him here, after overcoming so many obstacles I think he can do most anything! hugs Loralye

I would call this a stick/rod rather than a pin. I truly hope and pray that this will finally give him healing.
