May 9, 2017: Day +169

Doug and I are so appreciative of everyone who has prayed for us these past months. Thank you to all who hold Doug in prayers for healing and prayers for me as a caregiver. We have been sustained and supported by these prayers.  Doug's continued healing is evidence of all the prayers that have been offered.

Doug was diagnosed with a blood clot 2 days before we left the Elks.  Since that time he has been taking medication for it.  Yesterday, when he took his first shower at home, we noticed his foot was really purple.  It concerned both of us.  When his Home Health nurse came for his weekly visit Doug asked him to look at it today.  He was concerned and called the doctor.  For now, the doctor says to watch it and does not think anything more needs to be done right now.  Hopefully this will resolve and dissolve before long.  We will continue to monitor it.

Let us pray:

God of Mercy and Sustenance, we give thanks for all the friends that hold us in prayer. We are thankful for the support offered to us that bolsters us and supports us.  God we ask you to watch over Doug as he continues to heal from this blood clot.  We pray that it dissolves and is no longer a threat.  In your name we ask it.  Amen
