Koch Update:

This is not even an update; this is the first I have shared. Here's the info: Mr. Koch teaches with me, he saves my butt a lot, I love working with him. He also is a big (probably the biggest) drinkin buddy of mine. We have had many chats at Uccellos. Fun times!

Koch was in a car accident last Thursday. He was supposed to meet us at Mr. Curtis' house, then we were heading to some teacher training fun thing. Well... we soon were on our way to the hospital. My first reaction when I saw him was that I was so happy he was alive.
As time has gone by, it hasn't become worse, but the realism of the accident has hit home. To make this short, Koch is at Mary Free Bed where they are kicking his butt... He was transferred on Tuesday. He now attends OT and PT every day... did I mention that they are kicking his butt.

Mr. Curtis and I went to Mary Free Bed this morning to visit. Wow! Has Koch come a long way, and has such a spirit of determination. It has been hard, but he is determined to be home for Christmas!

The accident did some damage to Koch's body, but he is alive. Something I praise God for. He has a broken nose, which is now back to it's normal size, a broken arm, and a broken leg. He had excessive surgury on his leg as his femur broke in 3 places and bits and pieces of everything were inside his leg... shattered bones and pieces of the car.

It will be a healing process that takes lots of work and prayer. I'm so happy to have my friend Koch alive, and soon he will be able to give rides on his wheelchair! I hope!

Our God is an awesome God! Thank God for watching over Koch on this Thursday morning. Thank you Lord!
