I just got the news from Stephanie. Because of the damage that his hip has caused his leg to deteriorate to the point of no return. He had some tests done to show that his nerves and muscles will not be coming back to life.
They have decided, with the help of Heavenly Father, that it is time to amputate Travis' right leg. They will cut it right at the knee, keeping all of the femur bone. They will rotate the calf muscle into the quad muscle so his future stub will have enough tissue and cushion. They are VERY optimistic about this surgery! Since it will be a clean cut, Travis should heal very quickly and well. He should be able to start walking on his prosthetic within a month!
This means, that Travis might be able to run again! They say that his severe limp will go away because it is not cause by his hip, but his dead leg!
The surgery will be on Monday, January 12th. He goes in that morning to get it done. I'll be praying for you guys!!!
