Laying and Waiting

Monday, January 26

Tyler is just laying in bed waiting for the doctor's to decide if he needed surgery today. By the end of the day they decided to wait. He still has a fever and his knee is still swollen but the lab results showed that he does not have a bacterial infection in his joints. His white blood counts rose to 600 so that might help him get some ammunition to help fight off whatever his body is battling. They believe it is celulitus. So they will wait to see if the antibiotics he is taking will eventually kill the infection and his swelling will go down.

Sarah was exhausted after spending 2 days in the hospital. She is hoping for a snow day tomorrow so she can sleep in. They are expecting a little snow but probably not as much as we are getting in Louisville. They don't get much snow in Memphis so just a little will put a halt to the city. Be safe guys!!!!!

Thanks for your prayers. Harriet Michael ( a parent from CAL) e-mailed this to me today: "There is power in prayer, there is power in persistent prayer, and there is power in the prayers of believers who agree together...so I will be agreeing with you in prayer for Tyler today". Amen!

Stay close. Kim

Tyler,
I finished a Bible study recently about the life of Paul. Through our study of him I was reminded of you and all of the trials you have been going through over these past few months. Paul's faith could have fallen away daily with everything that he was experiencing, from shipwrecks to imprisionment. Please stay strong, Tyler, and know that through your faith, your prayers, and the prayers of your family and friends, you will come through this!!! God is faithful and he is there with you. You are one of God's special children and he will not leave you. You are always on my mind and in my prayers daily.

Oh, and one more thing--- The first comment!! Woo Hoo!!
