JOSHUA UPDATE
On May 17 it will be a year since Josh had his leg amputated. Yesterday he had a very fancy new leg fitted. I have taken these pictures from a video his mum sent me but they are not very clear as he is actually running. It takes quite a bit of putting on as it is fitted right up his thigh but it looks as if it will be better. Josh is loving his work in Dubai as a vetinary nurse.
The last picture is of his prothesis.

YEAH!! Happy Dancing for such a magnificent improvement he had had since the decision was made that the leg needed to be off. He is soaring now! Nothing is going to stop him from achieving whatever he sets his mind to doing. Thank you for sharing this with us! So happy for him and all those who love him. Such Blessings! Pam

This looks like it will be much more comfortable for him. Gosh time flies! I know it may seem like a long year for him, but I hadn't realized it's been almost a year already. This young man has been through so much. I am happy to hear he still enjoys his work and they are working with him, when he has to miss work because of appointments/ procedures with his leg. As always it is so good to hear news of Joshua. Give him and his mom an extra cyber hug from us- Toogie ( and Avery)

Thank you Deb. He is doing well but unfortunately the stump keeps flaring up which makes it very sore.

Hurray for Josh!!!! I'm grinning with delight. I love seeing him running. There will be no stopping him now. I hope he continues his work with animals and also mentors folks who are looking at amputation. He would give others so much comfort and hope.

I think he has joined a group of other amputees. He does not have a lot of time. He works a six day week and is studying at the moment. All good.

Thank you Chris for asking about Jared. He is doing much better at school. He misses his mum and brother. He has just come back from his first visit to Dubai. I am now in Jhb so will see him at the weekend.
