Emergency Prayer Request May 6
Friends and Families,
I am typing this note while sitting in an ER in southern Wisconsin. We have been on the road for three and a half weeks, speaking at New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Michigan, as well as ministering at churches along the way. But an emergency has come up.
As background, my wife Stacy, mother of 10, has no feeling in her left foot. Over a month ago, she injured her foot, but did not notice it until it became infected. Our doctor in Houston cleared out the area and prescribed an antibiotic.
We noticed the infection returning Thursday evening while at the INCH conference. Stacy's podiatrist called in a prescription of antibiotics Friday. At the Michigan conference Saturday, we met with a homeschooling mother who was also an ER doctor who doubled the antibiotics and told us to watch the infection. Today, while visiting with the Erber family, it looked worse than ever, which brought us here to the hospital.
The doctor here believes Stacy's foot infection has entered into her bone. She has recommended we return to Houston as soon as possible.
Stacy is now receiving a shot of antibiotics. We will then plan the fastest route to get her home.
This condition is quite serious, but we are trusting in the Lord and His Sovereignty. We ask for your prayers. Feel free to forward this request to any who may be able to offer prayer.
I came across an interesting article about jaundice. I thought you might be interested. http://www.askdrsears.com/html/2/T029600.asp
Remember, be forceful with what you want. Dr and nurses are going to tell you they know best, but, relly, they are just peotecting themselves. They are overly cautious because they don't want to be sued.
and a woman seeking the Lord's Will (daily), a wife (striving to keep the romance alive), a "Smamma" (Step- mother) of one and a homeschooling mom of seven (I was never going to have children), who starts every day over (after messing SOME thing up the day before), knowing God's grace is overflowing (just like my laundry), and so thankful He's blessed me more than I'll ever deserve.
