I don't know how to say this, but, if you read my post "I parted then with valient men" from Memorial Day, I told you about my uncle Louis who was in Vietnam and was disabled-military related.
I received a call at 6:34 this morning that he was in the VA hospital in critical condition. He has diabetes and neuropathy in his feet and legs. He had an ulcer on his foot that wouldn't heal and became gangrenous. They are saying that the infection has entered his blood stream and he's in the ICU. No news on the exact status beyond that.
Normally, I wouldn't ask, but, if you can spare a few moments, please say a prayer for him and our family.
Thank you.
What little electromagnetic juice I can beam at the situation with my feeble mind, consider it beamed.
ReplyDeleteI can spare a few moments for your uncle and your family.
ReplyDeleteSame here... Message to The Man Upstairs enroute...
ReplyDeleteMy Mum has got one of those little sores that won't heal, as well...... Lots of heartfelt angst, heading your way...
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, Kat. Prayers on the way - you are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with your Uncle!
ReplyDeleteok, kat. i can relate, hon.
ReplyDeleteglowies on the way.
thinking of him...
Sorry to hear about your uncle. I will pray for him.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone. I appreciate your kind thoughts.
ReplyDeleteAs an update, he has been transfered to a "step down" unit and they are considering putting a pace maker in and amputating some toes. The main concern right now is his pneumonia. He has heart problems and low immunity as it is, so this is a big concern.
thanks for the update, kat.
ReplyDeleteoh gosh, you guys must be SO worried. will have him in my thoughts until further notice...
