Prayer Request

As many of you are aware my mom has severe rheumatoid arthritis. A couple of years ago she had a nodule removed from the bottom of her right foot. The recovery from that operation has been a nightmare. It has been infected with Staff and Strep numerous times and any time the foot appears to be making progress, she has a set back. She has seen a vast array of doctors and wound specialists who have determined her a "difficult case." The most recent set back came last week. Her foot started hurting her and she started running a temperature and having chills. When she was taken to the doctor, they did an MRI on her foot (which in my opinion should have been done a long time ago since they knew they were having problems healing the inside of her foot) and discovered that the infection had spread to her bone. She is now in the hospital where they are giving her strong, concentrated antiobiotics through an IV. She has to be on these antibiotics every day for six weeks. Unfortunately, the wound center is in Bonne Terre which is 30 miles or so from our house. Since she will not be able to make this trip everyday, the doctor is looking in to sending a Home Health nurse to our house. If he can't get a nurse to go to our house, my mom will have to be admitted into a nursing home for six weeks until she has finished the prescribed round of antibiotics. Please pray for my mom. This has been a discouring and difficult few years for her. Pray that she will cling to Christ, that she will not have to stay in the hospital long or go to a nursing home, and that God would bring healing to her foot as He alone is wise enough and powerful enough to do so.

Thanks.
