Joey Shaw is back in Austin. He has seen a plastic surgeon and been told:
1. No facial nerves were cut or damaged (Praise God!)
2. The 50+ stitches were done very well(Praise God)
3. It may be a year before healing is complete and we know what kind of scar may be left (Trusting God)
He slept 17 hours the first night he was home.
He is ready to get back to normal living.
He did share some personal reflections that left Ruthe and me humbled, joyful, grateful and anxious to see him.
Will communicate more info next week. For now – Thanks be to God. And – thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers and concern!

I am so glad to hear that all is well with Joey. I can’t imagine what you and Ruthe went through as parents. No matter how old they get they are still just our kids!
