update on josh

yesterday was day three for I.V.antibiotics,and the staff was still spreading in josh's leg.the inflammation had more than doubled from day one,wrapping halfway around his leg.he had pain now shooting up his thigh,through his kneecap,and down to his foot.finally the doctors cut his leg open to drain whatever was in it,but there wasnt any fluid,so they proceeded to pull chunks of infected meat out of it,leaving him with a gaping hole in his leg,then packed the hole with medical tape.its sick.his inflammation looks much better today,but the pain is still excrutiating,mabe even worse than before.he cant walk on it and will probably be on crutches awhile longer.anyways,we still have to continue going back to the hospital for treatments indefinetly.we're not out of the woods yet,but seeing the inflammation receed is a good sign.
