Cyn's trot is looking nice here:

Cyn! Open your eyes!

Rollin' rollin' rollin'

Here is the email from my friend...apparently she's lost her voice! Sounds like it was below the knee...

Dear Ones,

Philip just spoke to Chris. I still cannot talk.

Andy's lower right leg was amputated yesterday. Chris (Mom) says that he made the decision. The surgeries to reconstruct/ bone grafts, etc. were not working and would have significantly limited his quality of life. With a prosthetic, he is looking forward to COMPLETING HIS ENLISTMENT (his words), mountain biking, etc. Chris said that because there was healthy tissue left, skin grafts were not required. He had plenty of tissue and skin to wrap the bone, etc.

Chris says that Andy is very, very positive. He is making plans to get well, go through rehab and get on with his life. He keeps reminding Chris and George (his parents) of the others at the hospital that are in so much worse shape. His only shadow was when he talked to his Mom about "girls". He said this would definitely let him know who liked him for him....Can you imagine? Not 21 yrs old for a month yet....

We'll talk to them tomorrow and then hopefully when I have my voice back, I'll have a good talk with Chris.

Please, please continue to pray for them. Chris' birthday is 2 days after Christmas. She has said all along, Andy is her gift. His life.

Thank you for caring about this special family. We all have so much to be grateful for and I am especially grateful for knowing I can count on all of you!

Cyn is sooo pretty! I love her pictures, especially!

Glad to see they're all getting along so well! Does Bay try to look after Cyn like he does the pony, or does he consider her responsible enough to take care of herself? ;-)
