Brother needs prayer

[Kelly]

thanks spirit and foxx...yes I support him a lot even tho he makes me crazy....and yes I am always doin the baby thing too spirit...my hubby says hes too old too and we are at the point in our lives where we can finally do things as a couple with no kids and he enjoys that...he doesnt know it but i could be surrounded by kids and I would be happy as a pig in slop....but i guess it is my time to just enjoy them and give them back to there moms....lol

Hi everyone whos concerned....Jim is home FINALLY...what a time getting him in the house but we managed....He's got a big boot on his leg....lol he calls it his "Frankenstein-boot" which is too funny....oh man the staples run all the way up his leg....unreal...yuk....anywho he gets them out monday...I ran to the Pharm for him hes on pain meds something else too I forget and also a blood thinner for the clots....the best thing about yesterday was baby sitting while his girlfriend went to get him....the baby is just sooo precious I WANT TO STEAL HIM!!
I told Bri I am just fallin in love with this precious precious infant...hes so awesome I was watching all his faces he was making...the smiling and giggling in his sleep is just the best thing...its so sweet it makes you want to cry....anyway I had to finally put him down and go home...lol
I told hubby I want a baby and he said "NO"...lol then he said "go back up in 6 months and see if you still want one then we will talk about it"

hes prolly right...lol

Kelly, I'm so glad to hear that Jim made it home ok. Now he'll be on the road to recovery.

Babies tend to have that effect on us!!! I bet he's adorable.

QUICK UPDATE: Jim is back in the hospital hes having surgery on his knee...he got an infection and now it is so bad they are taking muscle from his good leg and putting in his knee...he has a hugh gapping hole in his knee where they had to remove alot of damaged infected tissue...BUT luckily his circulation is very good and they are NOT goin to remove the metal that was placed on the femur....he will be sent home with IV antibiotics tho but a nurse will be coming regularly to keep an eye on everything.
His ankle is completely healed but the femur is not healing much at all ...very slow I guess it is his age that has to do with that and the infection.
On the up side his liver shows NO damage from his hepatitis....he had been diagnosed with hep c 15 years ago and the doctor says some peoples body just fight it off...now he did take milk thistle for years...it is a natural remedy for hep c (Pamela Anderson takes this ...just a little celeb gossip there quickly...lol) he had read this years ago and decided to try it...well it must of helped him....this doctor wants him to see a specialist for the hep after his leg is all done....the surgeon doin his op is one of the best in the world....he has done surgery on fetus' still in the womb....amazing!!
Anyway Jim's spirits are great and we just got back from visiting him...lol...he was watchin the race and just chilling ...I think hes going to be fine but the doctors didn't lie to him there is a chance the metal might still have to come out IF the infection doesn't get under control...another plus is he will not lose the leg no matter what because his circulation is very very good and thats the main thing...IF the metal comes out of the leg they will fit him with an outside contraption for the femur....big pain in the butt but if that is what he has to do then so be it...ok I guess thats it thanks everyone for all your prayers and concern

Sorry to hear bout your brother. I had just the opposite problem?  The steal rod they put inside my femur did OK. It was the knee where I had all my problems at. and still today there is a place that has not healed up like it should.  I will be praying for your brother

I wish I could lie to you and tell you that I did fall. It would be a lot easier than saying that I was putting a trailer hitch on my car when I broke my leg.   :OO   What makes it so bad, it was just a bolt on trailer hitch, drill four holes and bolt it on. and that is all you will get out of me.  I guess it would have been funny as h@ll to watch  :))   In a way I guess it was a fall. However, you do NOT put one of them on when you are drunk.  Anyways, your brother will stay in my prayers. Hope he gets better really fast   0:
