My Dad in Hospital...

Thank you for your prayers for my dad, Jack. He is still in the hospital with an infection in his leg. He has been there since Sunday. We got the results of the culture they did on his open sore to hear it was NOT pseudomonus so PRAISE the LORD for that. That would certainly mean he would have his leg amputated. They treated him with antibiotics all day yesterday in hopes that he would leave today, however...

Last night things took a turn for the worst over the course of the night. His knee which was replaced last year, the prosthesis has been affected by this infection. They are sending him from Hendricks Hospital in Danville to St. Francis in Mooresville to do emergency surgery to take out the knee and see once it is taken out if it can be replaced or if they must amputate. The infection is really bad so we are prepared for anything.

Please continue to pray for my dad, Jack. Thank you!
