Dear all, First, I want to thank each and all of you for your prayers. Jesus said, where two or more of you gather together, know that I am with you. Indeed, God has been with us.
The doctors at Winchester Medical Center, where Katie has been since Wednesday, had not been able to get the culture to grow so they could identify the “bug”. This morning, I went back to Jesus and said, “Thank you for have already done, but I know that you have power over all things, please Lord make that bug grow”. Guess what, this afternoon, the culture had come alive and they have identified the bacteria, Streptococcus-mitis, and now they have the correct antibiotic for that bug. Katie is doing better. She is awake and alert, much of the pain is gone and she looks ten times better than yesterday. She will be on this antibiotic for 6 weeks and it is administered in the vein so Medicare wants her in a “Medical” facility while we want her at home. Don’t know where that will go. But, first, she will go to a Rehab facility for about two weeks to rebuild up the muscles in her back. Please keep her in your prayers.
May God bless each of you for your prayers. -- Jerry John
