Update

Well the infection seems to have gone down today. I made the third trip to the doctor in four days today! Yay! He looked at it and said the antibiotics are working just not as fast as I (being me) would like for them too! He said it appears to be healing for the most part. He said it could take up to 10 days or more for the hole in my leg, that is about the size of a nickel and quite deep, to heal and close up. He has to let it heal from the inside out. He can't suture it because if he does it will fill back up with infection, which would be bad. So we just have to wait until it heals! He is however keeping an eye on another nodule that showed up yesterday. It is not very big right now and we hope it stays that way! I have to go back to the doctor every 2-3 days to get the hole repacked until it closes up. So lets keep praying that this moves in the right direction and heals up! Thanks for all the prayers!

I am terribly sorry to hear about your leg. I will pray for you tonight.
