Gross, Yuck, Disgusting

Check out my brother's boo-boo.



A couple of weeks ago he slid while pressure-washing his roof and caught his leg on a nail. This is right below his knee. He had 3 stitches put in and was on antibiotics, but didn't limit his activities at all. Rode his bike, climbed up on the roof again, was in the ocean.

He is a missionary in the Marshall Islands and things don't heal well there, mostly because of the hot, humid climate. They also don't have medical options. There is a clinic but it isn't always staffed. A lot of times the meds are past date. They have a "hospital", but no staff so you have to have someone stay with you and there are RATS THERE.

Anyway, I digress.

He sent this picture to his dr. in the States yesterday and the dr. had a fit. He said if Dave was in SC right now he would most likely hospitalize him. He's afraid the infection will go or has gone into the bone. He had Dave remove the sutures yesterday and is mailing him antibiotics, along with instructions to keep his leg up and to keep it dry.

We are rather worried about him and wishing he would fly to Hawaii for treatment until it heals.

Please pray for Dave.
