Sergeant Travis Wood + Purple Heart award!

Hey everyone! Yep, Travis is a sergeant now!!! It isnot official until the end of June, but they finallypromoted him! It's taken a year of waiting and beingpushed back, but it happened. He was very happy tohear that. Finally, something good came! He is stilldoing the same, lots of pain and not out of bed. Thedocs have given us a time line of 2-3 weeks until hecan get the HO removed out of his hip. Until then, hewill just be in a lot of pain. He can get more meds,but then he would sleep all the time, and he doesn'twant to do that again. But, his spirits are doinggood. He is so grateful for all the great thingseveryone has done for us. He is such a positive guy,and is trying to stay that way! Well, we hope you allare doing well, and we miss everyone so bad! Love, Steph

Art Festival at the Greenbelt

We love to go for walk on the Greenbelt in the summer! We also love it when our favorite little spot is free and we can relax and have picnics there! Today we went down for the Arts festival and took a bunch of pics. It was a lot of fun walking around and checking out all the cool little things that people make! There were some awesome booths! Here are a couple pics of the girls that I especially liked!

Update: Travis' skin graph

Travis got a skin graph today from his right thigh to his backside wound. Hopefully, if this takes, in 2 weeks he will be able to have surgery to remove his H.O.! (that's the abnormal bone growth in his hip, prohibiting him to move) He's doing pretty goodthough. His pain has been more under control. Theyuse a pain scale from 1-10, 1 no pain, 10 the worst,and he had been sitting at a 6-7 all day long. Now ithas dropped to a 4-5 all day. So this is a goodrelief.
