It's been a lonnnng time since I've posted on here but since I'm logged in I may as well post here too! ) I'm Joann...Mom to Joey. He's 9 years old and has had 4 surgeries at TCH with another one recommended. He can get his arm to about 100 degrees up...has poor external rotation and his arm is about 3 inches shorter than the other.

This injury has and will continue to help mold him into who God intends him to be. Joey loves the Lord and shines for Him each day! Take care and God bless! )
