Day 4...Again

The infectuous disease specialist was just here. It appears that dad has cellulitis and another infection that originates within his abdomen. This is not the news we were hoping for and are feeling a bit deflated. Heavy antibiotics will be given beginning immediately and could last as long as 6 - 8 weeks. As of now, this prolongs his stay in the hospital.

Honestly, this is hard stuff. Your prayers are appreciated...and necessary.

Peace and love,

  5. You, Oh Lord, are a shield around Jonas, his glory and the one who lifts his head high. We cried out to the Lord and He answered from His holy mountain. Jonas lay down and slept. He woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over him. (Ps. 3:3-5)

    Jonas, your help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - He who watches over you will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." PS 121

    You are loved!

  6. Anne, LaWonna, Lavale,
    "There is in every woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity." (Washingtron Irving)

    You have within you the strength, the courage, fortitude and grace that you need to do this. With God's help, you can do TODAY.

    I love you and I am praying,
    Fan
