Nathan's surgery went well, but we didn't make quite as much headway as we had hoped. The orthopedic surgeon removed the screws from Nathan's right ankle, but the bone in his left leg has not healed enough to allow for the removal of the external fixator. And the oral and maxillo-facial surgeon was not able to install the implants in Nathan's upper jaw as he discovered that there is not enough bone left. So he took a piece of bone from the back of the jaw and grafted it to the front. We have to wait a couple months for the leg and jaw to heal before Nathan will be ready for the dental implants.
Perseverance, and hope, are the name of the game, it seems. Romans 15:5 and 13 (in the NIV) serves to remind us that "...God...gives perseverance and encouragement..." and that He is "the God of hope."

I learned that our tendency to lose hope and patience is really a sign that we are created beings. Whereas our God, the creator, remains faithful and true to Himself and to us, His creation, for generations. What is wonderful is that, though creatures, God created us in His image and so we are able to reflect His faithfulness to those we truly love, even in the long haul. God bless you and sustain you as you care for Nathan.
You remain in our prayers.
