The last couple of days have been difficult ones for our family. Matt noticed an infected area on his leg on Saturday morning and by Saturday night it had probably tripled in size. His doctor sent him to Hershey Medical to have it check out and they cut it open to drain it and then sent him home with an antibiotic. On Sunday he stayed home from church and by afternoon it had again increased in size and was now quite painful. Upon confering with his doctor again they sent him back to Hershey and this time he was put on an IV antibiotic and a culture taken. They kept him overnight and when they made their morning rounds they were not satisfied with the his progress so they ordered another round of the antibiotic and kept him the rest of the day. In the afternoon an intern came in and told him he would be going home with an oral antibiotic and he would be having to change the bandage on the wound two times a day. They actually have his leg cut open with a flap and he has to stuff gauze in this to help it to drain. It is very painful he says. Anyway, they still do not have the results of the culture but I have noticed a change in the coloring and I think it's looking better tonight.
A friend from church, Cindi Fox, sent me a poem today and I liked the first line. She didn't even know what I was going through this week but I thought this was fitting.
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Ouch! Sounds very painful. We will be praying for Matt and you too. Hope he gets better soon!
Poor Matt! That must be painful, not to mention worrisome that it's not healing. We'll be praying for him.
