Prayer Request

Just wanted to share a prayer request.....one of my good friends, Jules asked prayer for her hubby. A little of the story...he's diabetic & has already had one of his legs amputated a little over a year ago, I believe & now they are facing this.....Her hubby's name is Vince & I KNOW they would very much appreciate the prayers!! The following is what she shared with us girls on our scrapping message board:

Could you guys say some more prayers for his toe.....I'm not liking how it looks this week...i think I see bone....and it is really bothering me.....I'm almost afraid of what she is going to say Thursday....I'm very anxious... I know it's 'color' is much better, but the actual blister site just has not gotten better.... This is really getting me down....thanks ladies....

We did go....and didn't get the news I wanted. We are going back tomorrow to see the Dr's in the vascular department....they will give the final say but we are at this point 90% certain that it will need to be amputated. She can 'probe to bone'.....which means no muscle is growing over where it needs to grow... I'm trying to be strong....but it is getting harder..... Thanks for your prayers.....

It's official....we go in Monday afternoon to have it amputated. Did all the pre op today.....the vascular drs agree that it is the best solution. Said they would be happy to walk with us for as many weeks as we wanted to try to see if it would heal...but at the same time the risks of it getting worse would be there and then the risk of it still being the same are there...this way we know the infection will be gotten and we can go on. Said that his circulation in the foot itself is good so it should heal with minimal problems expected. They will probably actually cast his feet for his shoes before we go home. Then it will be just a deal of healing stitches...which we have done before.....so..... We are both dealing with it....I've only cried a few times....but I'm ready to have it behind us....
