Hi--keep my husband in your prayers. He was admitted to the hospital this afternoon with a severely painful and seemingly infected knee (bothering him since Sunday night our time--this is Wed. afternoon our time). They were to do an ultrasound to see if there was pus in the joint that would require surgery to clean. I don't know any more than that right now. I didn't go along to the hospital because too much with the boys, and it's at least an hour away using public transportation (and I REFUSE to drive there!!!!!).

Thanks.

Michelle, this has to be a source of concern for you and your husband. I will be earnestly praying for his quick recovery.

Will pray Michelle, infected joints can be a big problem. (And I FULLY understand your unwillingness to drive to the hospital )

I will keep your hubby in my thoughts and prayers. Those infected joints can indeed be problematic. I have set lots of folks up for home IV antibiotic therapy as a result of those types of infections. Keep us informed. (I enjoy your posts, Michelle. Looking forward to getting to know you.)

Thanks for the prayers. After further testing, it appears the joint is not yet infected but is very inflamed (the norm on the test is 0-3 and David's number is 108). The doctor wants to keep him for observation at least through Sabbath afternoon, it sounds like.

Bobbie--yeah, my mom's a home care nurse in Loveland, and they deal with that kind of thing in the US, but here, people are not used to being at home and taking care of themselves at home--everything is done in the hospital, so that's where he is for now!

He asked if he could come home and keep it elevated, etc, and the doctor told him he'd rather have him bored with nowhere to go in the hospital than bored and getting up at home. Things are kind of touchy right now, I guess (I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV!).

anyway, thanks for the prayers. The boys are dealing with it fine. They felt a little strange last night going to bed without hugs and kisses from daddy, but they went to sleep with no problems.

Michelle

Definitely in FifiQueen and my prayers.
God's will be done

Michelle, Thank you for the update. You and your family are still in my prayers.

Michelle I hope he feels better soon! I'll remember you and him in my prayers.

I would like to share whats going on with me.
My mother is scheduled for open heart surgery in San Francisco Hospital. She is a diabetic. She isnt saved and cant stand SDA's. We lived next door to a nice SDA family growing up. My mom dont like christians anyway and she was raised catholic and never went to church when she became an adult. I gave my sister "The Passion of Love" by Ellen White (Desire of Ages Last chapters) and my sister is in LOVE with Jesus now(O God your so good!!!!) and wants to read more of her book!s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And she is sharing her enthusiasm with mom and now my mom is open to the idea of actually reading a EGW book!!!! O pray for my mom's salvation. I have a peaceful sense that God is moving in these circumstances and I am rejoicing.

Awesome, G4J! I pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to move in your family
