I'm praying for both of you and the situation to be resolved with the healthcare.

Prayers needed for my younger brother who is in the final stage of Parkinson's, that they will be able to control his meds and his wife will find good home health care for him so she can keep her job. I finished his quilt just in time.

This is trivial in comparison but I need my right thumb to heal after cutting all of those rag quilts, especially the last one which gave me much pain but it had to be done. I'm guessing I irritated a very old injury from my school years. I spent lots of time cutting rag quilts 10 years ago and never had any problems. An injury to a tendon in my right arm last spring took several months to heal, possibly because I couldn't or wouldn't stop using it. I hope this one heals quicker. I won't be using scissors for awhile but I can still use a rotary cutter. And I can still get up and down from the floor. Life is good!

Continued prayers for all who are in need.

I've been thinking about you all & praying. Hang in there Pam.

I've got her in my prayers Pam!

Thank you all for your prayers. Pete was discharged from hospital late on Monday and is home slowly recovering and now only on mild pain killers. I am so glad to get him off of morphine. DDIL Sheri is still battling her infection at home and really struggling with her 2 small boys. The 4 year old started school today. With DH to care for I am not able to do much to help her and my son had to go back to work this week. Please keep her in your prayers.

Thank you.

Pam, I am just back from vacation and catching up on all the posts. I am praying for your family.
Lynn, I am glad you are doing better and no systemic infection.
Prayers to all who need them!

Thanks for the update Pam. Hope you all can get some good rest!

Pam, It sounds as though it is time for some very well earn rest. Take care. Prayers still coming.

Thanks, Pam, for letting us know. Enjoy your evening. Big hugs, Robin

Well that was a very busy and stressful week. DDIL was expecting to have surgery to remove her gall bladder and stones yesterday, then bumped to todays surgery list due to other emergency cases, then bumped off that. So she was finally discharged today with pain meds and is now home with her boys and will have surgery in about 6 weeks time. DH Pete is expecting to be discharged in a couple of days and was told today that they will probably remove his gall bladder at a later date to prevent a reoccurrence. He is sleeping a lot at the moment, but I think that that is just probably natures way of healing the body.

I am now enjoying my first evening at for a week.

Thank you for all your prayers and love.

I heard from Pam last night that they have identified her DH's infection as coming from his gall bladder, and they put him on different antibiotics, to which he seemed to be responding. Her DIL is also responding to treatment, but both still have a ways to go, and removing the gall bladder is apparently still being considered for both of them. Haven't heard anything today, yet, though, so please keep the prayers going for Pam and her family.

Oh, Pam, I know that is frightening. I had a scare last month with a bacterial infection from ankle to knee, emergency room trip, cultures drawn, heavy antibiotics given. Thankfully no systemic infection but I was exhausted so didn't even post here. Praying your hubbys cultures are negative or that the source is treatable and that God sends doctors and nurses that are excellent and for him to be comfortable with the pain level and treatment. And for you dear one, that you will get rest to sustain you while you care for others!

Pam, you and your family are in my prayers. Hopefully both patients will recover quickly, Take care, Pat
