New Foot Technology Equals a Good Catch

As of December, this is Robert's new Fillauer AllPro Foot

Thanks to our wonderful prosthetists at Care Prosthetics & Orthotics in Houston, we recently gained a new foot, and with it new freedoms! 

For example - 

Fishing at the bottom of  a steep bank with very unlevel ground. Nice large mouth bass, Babe.

 

Launching this boat - not in this picture - that's our son, Landon, but Robert recently launched it by himself and fished.

Thanks to the blessings of medical technology, our "new normal" is not so bad after all.

     We are very grateful for every bit of it, and I remember us seeing this verse at the hospital chapel four years ago as if it just happened: 

"In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world." - John 16:33 

Looking back over the past four years of healing, even in loss and then change, time heals wounds and we move on. We first learn to stand, and it is painful. Then, we walk a little; then, run and even jump again. Now this - hiking up and down unlevel ground. A small miracle. Go, Robert. Go, God.
