Poor Josh

For those of you who havent heard,Josh has developed a nasty Staff infection in his leg and we would appreciate your prayers.this just occurred since Monday,and hes been in and out of the hospital ever since.every couple hours we have to go back to the hospital so they can administer antibiotics through the I.V. needle he has taped to his wrist.if the antibiotics dont do the trick within the next two days ,they may have to operate on his leg to get the infection out.If you know anything about Staff,you know its never a good thing,very hard to get rid of,and alot of times fatal.thank the Lord we caught it before it progressed any further.the doctors say it is a particularly bad strain that is eating at the muscles in his leg,so that he is unable to walk...hes not allowed to work and must keep his leg elevated and immobilized for several days.he's on a lot of pain meds,but his spirits are high.if your all wondering why im posting in the middle of the night its because im trying to stay awake to take him to the hospital for his treatment in just a few hours.its been a crazy crazy day and the Lord has seen us through it...thankyou for all of your prayers,and phonecalls...we should know more tomorrow whether or not the antibiotic will work.
