Doctors Appt today

Please pray for Randy and his family. Randy went to the doctor today to check on the infection in his leg. The infection looks better, but is not all the way healed. The doctor took him off IV antibiotics and gave him regular antibiotics. He will be on those for a few months. In June, Randy will go back to check the progress. IF the infection is NOT healed, they will have to weigh the options, both of which are major. Choice 1 would be to do surgery to remove the hardware and the cadaver bone in his leg that was put in after the cancer was removed. They would leave that out for some time to clear any infection, then do reconstructive surgery. Choice 2 would be to amputate the leg. He could get prosthetics, but this would be major as well.
So, the choice is clear - pray for healing with the antibiotics and not have to make that hard decision. I hear that Randy is still in good spirits and has a good attitude (He ROCKS of course). Keep on Rocking Randy!

Little set back

Randy went to the hospital this weekend because of a problem with swelling and redness in his leg and fever. He has since found out that he has an infection in his blood and is getting antibiotics for it. He had to get a pic-line in so they can give him the meds at home. I am pretty sure finals are next week for him. They will see the doctor soon and get some more test results. Please pray for him and for a speedy recovery.
