thank you for the update and the picture. his thumb up tells me he's very positive. Hope everything went well. Relax now...

Hope everything goes well now. God bless you

So glad this next stage is safely begun.

Bless him! I hope he doesn't have to deal with pain anymore!! Hugs to you! Laura

You can see in his face how much he has matured. He has faced so much in his young life. I pray he will heal well, physically and emotionally. I want him to be able to move on with his life, without pain or more surgeries, as I know all of you do as well. He has been stronger than most and he has so many that care for him. Sending love to him, you and your family-Toogie

So glad to see him out of surgery,, but obviously still in a bit of discomfort. He has such a strong will and I know he will go forth from now on. I pray that there won't be too many more surgeries. Love Chris

As always......upbeat. I am praying for fast recovery.

Well done Josh, a thumbs up to you too. Have a speedy recovery. Thanks for letting us know Sarah. Hugs from Maureen in Durban

Get well soon. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery

Thank you all for your words of kindness. Joshua is now home and so the healing starts. He has to be in Johannesburg for a month before going back to Dubai - doctors orders. H e is very unhappy about this but he has to follow orders.
