August 17, 2009

Gene is still trying to recover from his last debridement procedure. He is very tired, and has run a temperature for the last couple of days. It seems that he may have another infection. They have started him on a broad spectrum antibiotic until they can do a culture.

Emily has spent a good bit of her time with him over the last few days. Last night he was more responsive. Emily is giving some thought to spending some nights with him over the next few weeks.

Emily will be having a birthday this coming Friday, August 21st. She said tonight that she really isn't in a very celebratory mood for her birthday, and of course, that's easy to understand. Birthday wishes from her friends and family will be very uplifting. Her sisters, Frances and Joyce are planning a visit to see Gene and to be here to wish her a happy birthday. Gene's sister Mary and her daughter Lynda are also planning a visit in the near future.

Prayer Requests
Please pray for Emily and Gene to have peace and the resources to face the challenges ahead.
Pray for Gene to have strength for healing, and for the doctors to choose the best treatment options available for Gene's benefit.
