Prayer Requests

Larry is recovering from Cat Scratch Fever right now, and is on some heavy medication for it. Yes, it is not just a song...lol...it's real. He was giving our cats a bath the other night and one of them bit him on his thumb. It swelled up really bad, so we went to the doctor and he gave him a medication and said to monitor it. If he got a fever and saw red streaks running up his arm, he needed to go to the emergency room. Well, the next night that is exactly what happened. He had to go to the emergency room and get evaluated there. They gave him some booster meds while he was there and prescribed him more medication to add to the other pills he was already taking. He is feeling much better now, and is not angry at Trapper for biting him. lol.

Also, JR Butcher had a little scare last week.. He had to go back into the hospital because they thought something was wrong again. To keep up on his progress, visit his blog at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jrbutcher . After looking at his symptoms, they are talking about having another surgery. He will be able to come home on the same day of his surgery, and they think he will be fine.

Thanks for your prayers!

Good Grief Larry. Hope you are feeling better, are you working? I can't remember if I have seen you. Heck at this point I can't remember my name. Love the picture of you and the girls.

I did see JR Friday night. He said they are basically going to zap the small tumor and he would be home that day. The side effects were a possible migraine type headache within in a month of the procedure and that could be controlled with meds. And it could last up to a week. He was in a very good mood, acting like that JR we all know and love. Yeah the goof ball. LOL.
