My Prayer Request

I will keep this short, hopefully. I’m coming to you today with my own prayer request and for my husband. On November 22nd, a Saturday, I fell down on a grocery store parking lot. At the time, I thought it was just a scrape on the left leg. I had taken my Mom to the store so we went on in. When I got dizzy and about to faint twice, I took a look at the leg. It was extremely swollen, same one where I had a blood clot in August. On that Tuesday, I took an ambulance ride to a hospital where the doc there said that since I was allergic to the ONLY IV antibiotic he wanted to give me, he would not be able to justify keeping me even though he knew I was in incredible pain. He said that his diagnosis was cellulitis which is extremely painful. It wasn’t just painful, it was incredible agony at the time. I do not say that lightly. Not to brag but I tolerate pain quite well and will take a lot before it’s a big deal to me. This pain was a 10+ on a 1-10 scale.
Since then, I have had nurses out to see me a couple times a week. The last visit before today was last Friday. She had not seen the leg before. (I see several nurses) Right after I saw the ER doc, I developed blisters on the leg and since then, they have broken and reset fairly often. When the nurse saw me last week, she suggested I go to see my family doc. I told her then that it was not possible since the leg hurt so much and the skin where the blisters are is quite sensitive. I could not wear any type of pants. That’s really all I have for going out of the house. I should mention that I am on a pretty high powered pain killer and it does not completely cut the pain but it is far more tolerable than before.
Today, I saw her again. She says that the blisters are getting worse, in her opinion, and she took pics. She gave them to my family doc who now wants me to go to the ER as soon as is possible. For some reason they just started getting worse than before. The other nurses did not see it that way before but there has been a gap in when I saw them and this nurse. Please pray for my healing and that this is not going to go any further downhill.
In addition, my husband who is the only one to take care of me and who does all the work, has been suffering from debilitating migraines just lately. The weather has changed recently and he often has problems with them at that time plus he is worried about me. That has to be contributing to the whole thing too. These migraines are really bad, worse than he usually has. Please pray that the migraines stop and that he is completely healed.
NOTE: This sounds like his migraines are bad but not horrible. Oh they are horrible, very debilitating to him. In addition, he is having jaw pain that will not let up like it has in the past. One always kicks off the other but this migraine stuff has lasted much longer than his headaches usually last. These have been going on almost every day for the last couple of weeks. It is likely that he will be going into the ER for his own needs tomorrow. We need prayer that this hospital is willing to do everything they can (they don’t always do that. This hospital is the one I was in last time. We need prayer for THAT too.)

Thank you. We will be heading to the hospital tomorrow. Thank you for visiting.
According to her sister, Lura passed away on December 30th 2008 sometime in the afternoon.
She went in for this issue and did not make it back out.
I am still so shaken by the news.
She will be missed a great deal.
