I've realized that as the Walker cousins reach new stages in life, there is a bigger need for more frequent communication. What I have decided to do, is try to offer a solution. I've come up with a way for us to have an online bulletin board. This will be a good way for you to either share family information, or to learn something about the concerns of the family. Previously, our family updates have been made by phone and email, but occasionally someone accidentally gets left out of the loop.

Don Walker update
Dad saw the orthopedic doctor today. There will be no surgery, no pins. The doctor put on a new brace to keep it in place which seems to be helping a lot. His foot on that leg kind of sticks out to the side and we have to be more careful not to catch it on something while pushing him in the wheelchair. Mom has her bruising and swelling going down. So all things considered they are doing well.

Thanks for the update and keeping us posted.
You can be sure that the prayers you have prayed for me have been reversed in our prayers for you. When you hurt or have a rough time, you kind of know what the other person is going through too.Wish we could come visit with you!
Dad isn't wearing the brace. He says it makes his leg hurt too bad. He feels that since he will never walk on that leg anyway, it doesn't matter to him if it heals a little bit crooked.
I am glad things are going better for Don and Iris.
