Doctor Gives Good News

Fred's infectious disease doctor visit went very well today.  Fred continues to improve daily.  The doctor decided that they would remove his PICC line on Thursday.  At that time, Fred will only be required to take one out of the three antibiotics.  He will continue to take that antibiotic for six more months by mouth.  The doctor wants Fred to slowly work back into his normal routine, but if all goes well this week Fred will be preaching from the pulpit this Sunday morning.  This is a great stride in his recovery, but he still needs his rest and recovery time.  Any extended time up on his feet results in swelling and soreness.  The family appreciates all of your prayers and support.  Please continue to keep Fred on your prayer list.   

Continue to Improve

Preacher Fred continues to make improvements daily.  His strength and motivation continues to grow as his knee heals.  If Fred can continue to stay on track, the doctor is hopeful that he will be able to make occasional trips to church in the next few weeks.  The doctor still wants Fred to take it easy and gradually work his way back into his routine.  Fred and family want to thank everyone for their loving prayers.  We will keep the blog updated as Fred continues to make improvements.
