| Alex still needs prayers I thought we were about over the whole surgery thing. We made it through surgery and even fighting him to keep the bandage on. Then the stitch popped and caused an infection in his knee. We got a round of antibiotics and managed to get the pus to stop. Today he comes in and his knee is a little swollen. It is also a little red. So I had a friend who is a nurse look at it who described it as looking a little "angry". She thinks there is another infection. She told me to watch him and if he got worse to go to a walk in clinic. And if not then to take him to his doctor Monday. I thought he had it made. But looks like another set back. Any prayers for him will be greatly appreciated.

| Have already put you guys on that prayer list. PO infections can be pretty serious if the bug involved is a bad one though this does sound superficial but you know what to watch for. I'm so sorry you are having such a bad time of it. I wish I could send you a vacation. I'll bet you could really use about 5 days to do nothing but sleep, have massages and nothing but restaurant or room-service meals as you vegged out.

| Poor Alex (and mommy). Your friend probably already told you to watch his temp, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. If he starts running a fever, I would get in somewhere sooner than Monday. We will keep you both in our prayers. If you can't get to the vacation anytime soon, might I recommend a nice white wine spritzer?

| Watch for very red areas, streaking of red, warmth and swelling too - oh, you'll know it if you see it. I had a simple finger nailbed infection that suddenly one day quickly began to streak red toward my hand and that old bug took a while to get cleared and 2 or 3 different antibiotics. Hope Alex and Rosie are better today but I'm praying until I hear different!!!
