Might help if I ping the list!!!
We just got back from the visit with the podiatrist...he is going to refer Cody to see an infectious disease specialist. He took this VERY seriously. He said it looked good but he could tell it was bad before…and if there was ANY fear of MRSA, he wanted it evaluated before he went forward with treatment. I still have to clean and dress it 3 times a day. They are making an appointment to see the infectious disease specialist ASAP and then back to see the podiatrist immediately after being released for further treatment. He said it was severely swollen, the skin of the toe, next to the nail, is so swollen it is growing OVER the nail. He believes that will get better after the infection and injury is removed. The doctor is going to remove 1/8” of Cody’s toenail, on both sides of each toe that is affected and then apply a chemical that will prohibit the nail from growing back. It looks like the second toe of one foot is showing signs of becoming infected, so that one may need treated too. Thank you for the continued prayers. It appears he may get the treatment he needs thanks to the input and prayers of my friends here!
Update on trussell’s son’s foot problem....please continue with the prayers.

Praise the Lord that this doctor is taking his condition seriously! Hope they can now heal this young man! (((Hugs)))
Prayers up for your son, trussell. His condition sounds scary, praying that is getting cured right now by the antibiotics and the prayers.
When my son was only seven, he was always sick. Doc hospitalized him for a week of tests (that’s when insurance really worked) and came up with nothing. Then I read a book about nutrition — vitamin C deficiency sounded a lot like what my kid had. So I loaded him up on megadoses of C and within a week he was a healthy little boy again. Apparently he needed many more times than the standard daily dose of that vitamin. Still does.
It’s not uncommon to have an above-normal need for one or another nutrients. You might check out that avenue. Couldn’t hurt:)
No matter what happens to us, it never hurts as much as something going wrong with our child. Praying for your emotional wellbeing. May the Good Lord bring lasting peace to your mind and heart.
Praise God that you are getting proper and concerned Medical Care.
Keeping you in prayer.
Thank you for letting us know. Prayers continue...
Glad to hear that a doctor is taking this case seriously. Thanks for the update. Prayers that the infection will be gone soon.
I’ve been praying for Cody and checking back every few days but there has been nothing in over a week. I am concerned.
Please, did you see the infectious disease specialist?
How is Cody?
Please let us know.
God be with you!
