Hospital

My husband Harry is a diabetic. He has been since he was 18 years old. He hurt his foot a few weeks ago and he doesn't even know how he did it. He doesn't have much feeling in his feet. His foot has been swollen and we have been staying home a lot and keeping it propped up. He has run a low grade fever off and on for the last two weeks. Well today all things came to a head, literally. After going to the Doctor today, we learned that he has some infection in his foot. So we went from the Dr. Office straight to the hospital and with in two hours he had surgery to clean out the infection. He will be in the hospital for awhile. We are praying that there is no infection in the bones. We will not know if there is any for a few days. We could use all the prayers we can get. So I may be missing in action for a while. I'll still try and post some updates on his condition. I just probably won't have a lot of time to check out all of yours and leave you comments. So please forgive me. I'll be back soon. Thanks and my love to all.

Gigi, give Harry our best. I remember seeing Harry when he was sixteen, on a trip home. He had gain weight & grown so, I almost cried. I spent a lot of time with Kathy, Clemon & kids! I will put your names on the Salt Lake temple prayer roll. Our thoughts & prayers are with you. Love, Jay & Carolyn

What a Friend we have in Jesus and what a powerful friend He has in you and Harry.

Only a chosen few really know what you two, as one, have endured up to this point in life's journey together.

God be with you in yet another trial of life. May He hold you in the hollow of His hand always is my fervent prayer...

Love and Prayers and Hugs,
mama

And for those who don't know, Gigi needs prayers of health also, as she has been suffering with her back and going to chriopractor almost every other day and using ice packs to get relief.
