In December I was in and out of the hospital and now it is my Husband's turn. Date is Aug. 12th. A week ago Hubby was working on a deck we are building on to the back of our house. He put up a ladder to climb up. As He started up the ladder the ladder kicked out and Hubby went down and bruised His left leg. Within a couple of days His leg was swelling up so we went Urgent Care. Did not get any pain medication. So yesterday we are back to Urgent Care and saw a Doctor who new her business. She sent us to the Emergency Room. They took e-rays and did blood work. Hubby was told He would be staying a couple days in the Hospital to bring down the swelling and address the other issues like INR was up to high, so vitamin K was given. Pain medication given ever 3 hours and a different Antibiotic was given because the blood work showed He may have a Staff infection in His left leg.
Today is day one in the process of getting Him well. The pain meds are given every 3 hours, the antibiotic given. Tomorrow He will be able to go home if all is well and next week to be back for many more tests. I am not sure what medication will be put on the list.

These are pictures of our daughters, Carrie and Michelle and their husbands Jarrod and Matt. I am so glad for these four Prayer warriors for this time of illness. Dad and daughters have been talking back and forth about the reports and what the Doctor wants to do.
For me it has been the second time of seeing my Mate in pain and it has been very hard not to break down. I know God is here and is in charge of the situation and assisting the Doctor and Nurces in their job of working as a team to make my Husband well and home.
