The Petraske Project: The Power of Prayer!

For the last two days Jake could barely move without wincing in pain and he definitely couldn't walk because his hip was hurting him so bad… well through the power of prayer and Gods grace, Dr. Paley was able to remove one pin from Jake's hip that was very loose, he also performed a peroneal nerve decompression which will help with his nerve pain in his leg and foot from the lengthening process. Jake is resting comfortably at home and was even able to walk around tonight and play with his brothers.

Jake is so happy to be feeling better and also to hear that so many friends and family are praying for him and thinking of him during this process! Thanks again for all the support... I really can't say thank you enough!

Also today we received a new lower shoe lift!! Jake is thrilled to see all his progress!!

Amazing right!! What an awesome answer to prayer! Jake is currently has 51-53mm of new bone growth at this time. Our next x-ray is on August 1st and he should be at 63mm which puts us at our goal length of 8cm by the end of August. Please continue to pray that we have no complications and Jake gets the maximum growth with minimal muscle and nerve pain.
