Important Update on Nick
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008I have some unfortunate news on Nick’s condition. We took Nick to the Dr. on Monday to have the surgical dressing removed from his ankle. We found that the entire ankle and foot was grossly infected. They admitted Nick to the hospital that night and the next day, (yesterday) they took Nick into surgery. When they opened up the ankle, they discovered that the tissue and bone had actually died and had to be removed. Nick still has his foot, but he is facing a almost certain amputation. There are other options to try to keep the foot, but it would be a very hard and long procedure lasting up to two years or more. The amputation would be up to his mid-shin. Nick is doing the best he can in finding a way to deal and cope with this. The decision is his, but I think he knows what needs to be done.
Please pray for him and add him to your church prayer list if possible.
Love,
Rene

I am very sorry to hear this and I understand what Nick is enduring more than most do. I always remind anyone who offers to pray for me to pray for Nick as well. I would prefer that he get the help from upstairs before I do.
Love to you both.
