In November, as the Bertrands were preparing to move out of their two-story house and into a one-story house, Lance had a very unfortunate accident. While packing up the old house and attempting to move a box down stairs, he lost his footing near the top of the wood stairs and had a terrible fall that resulted in a fracture and dislocation of his right elbow. He is right handed, so this injury has been very life-altering. Lance and Therese were one week shy of moving out of this two story when this accident occurred.
The house closing, packing, moving and unpacking went on with Lance "supervising" and with lots of help from family and friends. Lance and Therese are very relieved to be out of the two story and in a one story house.
Just one day afer moving into the new house, Lance had surgery to repair his right elbow. The head of the radial bone was shattered and had to be replaced with a titanium prosthesis. He went to physical therapy three times a week for rehab, and unfortunately, he was unable to drive or work for the next several weeks. He continued to travel to Nashville, though he could not travel alone any longer due to his limitations related to his elbow injury.
In February, Lance was able to return to work which lifted his spirits after being pent up for so long. The doctor says that his elbow is not healing as well as he would like, so another surgery may be required soon.
In the midst of all this, Jude and Jolie are getting bigger and cuter every day! Enjoy the picture below, and please continue to keep The Bertrands in your prayers. Specifically, please pray for a complete recovery of Lance's elbow and for continued stability of his cancer and MS.
