… have hit a bump in the road.

I was on track to be discharged from the Northside Hospital BMT group on April 1.  Then, my left foot became red and swollen.  The pain woke me up several nights ago.  Dr. Solomon began treating me with an antibiotic for cellulitis in the foot, a condition that is an infection in the under layers of the skin.  Whereas I was to have two more visits, I now am required to go in every day for a 30 min. IV of antibiotic.  It was discouraging news to hear … but it’s better than losing a foot.

Feet should carry good news. (Is. 52:7, Eph. 6:15)  They are supposed to be healthy and beautiful.  Mine are neither.  I am asking in faith that they heal quickly, and that I can get on with doing the job and ministry I am called to.

Take care of your feet. I’m working on mine.

Lord, thank You for our bodies that give us a tool and vehicle with which to fulfill your plan for our life and function.  Give us wisdom to take good care of them.  Forgive us for our neglect and misuse.  Let us walk in an abundance of grace.  Yes, let us keep walking!
