Today Treyton got his Botox injections. He had to have general anesthesia, but it only took about 5 minutes. The injections were in the Achilles and the hamstring. The doctor thought it went very well. We have to follow up in 3 weeks. If it hasn't helped quite as much as the doctor thinks it should, then there is a muscle relaxer that he can prescribe. If it really doesn't help, then Treyton would need to have surgery. The doctor would rather wait until he is 6. That way he would probably only have to have 1 more surgery. If we do the surgery too young, then he would have to have several as he grows. He has to do stretches 2 times a day, and wear the brace at least 10 hours a day, and all night if possible until we go for the follow up. The goal is to have him walking correctly until he is about 15, and then he will always walk correctly.
Praise God that Chris, who does his orthotics, recommended this!!

Testimony
We are believers, saved by grace, baptized and members of our local church. We claim Acts 16:31 as our family and ministry verse. It says, “And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Jody was the first in our family to be saved. She accepted Jesus as an 11 year old, but then never grew and matured as a Christian. About 20 years ago Jody began attending church again, taking Maggie and Emily with her. She rededicated her life and became involved in different ministries. After 9 years of prayer, Don came to know the Lord. Soon after the children, one by one, believed also.

Obidos, Para, Brazil
There are currently 46,000 people in Obidos, including 10 neighborhoods, and 7 villages that can only be reached by boat. In Obidos we will work to evangelize, disciple, build leaders and plant churches, who will then duplicate what we have done. We have a team of 2 national pastors and 1 national evangelist waiting for us to return to work with them.
Ministry Goals
- We hope to use a lot of relational evangelism! We chose our verse, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:31" for this reason. We pray that God will use our family to reach one family at a time. The word for "house" in Portuguese is "casa", thus "Casa1631 Ministries", and the house on stilts in the logo.

It is amazing what God can do. Your family has been a blessing to Treyton and I'm sure that he has been a blessing to you.
