| Prayer Warriors, please PRAY!!! I just got a call from my brother and SIL. My nephew had knee surgery (complete meniscus tear and ACL tear) on Monday. His lower leg started swelling Tuesday. They took him to the doctor and he did an ultrasound which showed TWO blood clots. They prescribed blood thinners. Well, this morning his leg started turning very, very dark. They rushed him to the ER an hour ago. I'm so worried. He is such a sweet boy. I call him boy because that is what he will always be to me. He is actually 38. He needs prayer and only God can see him and the family through whatever is facing him. I've always known that knee surgeries can be dangerous and it is now hitting home. I've known several people who have had big problems with knee surgeries. Thank you everyone for your prayers. I'll update when I can. If anyone has any suggestions or experience with this, please let me know.

Yes, it's very scary. Thank you for your prayers. I haven't made it to the ER yet to see how he is doing. I'm also praying the clots don't break loose.

| Lila, I am keeping your nephew in my prayers and pray God lays His Healing Hand on him. It is very scary to have something like this happen unexpectedly. Please keep us updated.

| Thanks everyone for your prayers! My nephews surgeon is in surgery with another patient. He will see my nephew next. So, I still don't know much. I do know they did bloodwork. His white blood cells are normal, but whatever else was tested isn't. He is in a lot of pain. They don't want to start antibiotics because they can interfere with testing that might need to be done. I don't know what all of this means yet. I will update as I know more. It seems like when you go to the ER, it takes forever.

| My SIL just called and said my nephew has a bad infection in his ankle and foot and that the blood thinner probably caused the swelling. They changed to a different blood thinner. They are keeping him overnight on IV antibiotics. I'm not really sure about the blood clots. My SIL didn't know either.
