God bless Joshua. May all go well with his surgery, and may he return to a normal lifestyle soon.
Prayers up for him and all the troops!
What is amazing is that he must keep this halo device attached to his left leg for about another nine months so that bone growth below his knee can keep progressing before they perform the amputation. Joshua said that he is in a lot of pain each day.
One can only hope their sons and daughters grow up to be as courageous and patriotic as Joshua Sparling.
