we did it

Now

 Then

Thanks to Zita and her computer saavy  we got our debt counselling course finished.  I made the call that will send the certificates.....Hip hip hooray

I forgot..

I forgot to report that Rick said they had determined that he DID NOT have a blood clot in his leg.  I am so sorry that was a pretty important piece of info.

lookin up

I just talked with Ricky.  IN HIS EYES...He says he thinks it looks worse and it definitely has more sensations in it.  He said even his foot is swollen and it is all fire engine red to him...

.but the team says they are going forward and that it isn't as red to them.  They are running four antibiotics    Bactrim, Vancomycin, Ampicillin, and one other cl...phosphate ( I think that is Augmentin).  Vancomycin is what they gave me for my staff.  fyi  all these are probably mispelled
Keep praying on......

more bad news

This morning while I was cooking food to take to Bettie Ann's after the funeral, I got a call from Aunt Johnnie.  She said that Uncle James's  wife , Nancy had passed away this morning.  I don't know any details yet, since I went on to the funeral, graveyard, and to Bettie's  We haven't been home very long.  Wesley's walker had a wheel to break so our luck is about as low as it can go.

I will write more details when I know.

I talked to Ricky yesterday, he called and said he was a little less nervous about everything but that it was a scarry situation and they still haven't found an antibiotic that touches it.  His white counts are going up and down...They will not even consider sending him home soon; and he will not be able to work on it for several weeks or more; even after they get the swelling down.

I got an exemption on the tuition for the debt counselling class so I will just do it online (both of us) and save the trip back to Plano.  Now if I can get my brain working and my knee in better shape...lol
I still have much to do and no energy in this heat.

about Ricky

As I stated the other day, my brother Ricky is the the Mansfield Methodist Hospital infection is in his leg really bad. they have already tried three antibiotics which didn't work and now they are gonna have to put in a pic line and bring in the big guns.   Please keep him in your prayer.  Alice said even when he gets discharged he will have to have a professional in the home to work with it for them.  Here is the number to the room 682-622-3311.

In the hospital...

Alice called me tonight shortly after 6pm and wanted to let us know that Ricky, my baby brother was in the hospital (Mansfield).  I talked to both of them.  Rick said that he had been running a high fever, vomiting, and dizzy for a couple of days.  He went to the dr who sent him straight to the hospital for iv fluids and antibiotics.  He has an infection in his leg.  (Cellulitis).  Please pray for him and also for Alice she sounded like she had the flu.   Since Wesley cannot be in hospitals or nursing homes at this time , I can only pray from home.  Also my cousin Barbara Ann is in critical condition in the ICU here in Paris ( not especially a great place to be) on a ventilator.  she coded this morning and is still unable to maintain sufficient blood pressure .  It is a difficult time for Bettie Ann since her husband James had a cancer removed in his lung at the Dallas VA and is just out of the hospital.  However, my Uncle Jessie has been sent home and will continue his cancer treatments at the Paris Cancer Center.  His cancer is single cell type.

We are better..... Pray also for my brother in law Perry who is working long hours in a hot mechanic stall thru this unbearable heat.  I am so proud of my little cool house!
