So, yesterday morning, I saw my friend Thaddeus getting into the passenger side of the car, as his wife Judy got into the driver's seat. Thad was struggling with a cane and having a difficult time getting into the car.
"Thad, you don't look well," I said. "Have you been ill?"
Thad pointed down to his foot which was twice its normal size and bright purple. I was aghast.
"Are you going to the hospital now?" I asked.
"Right after I play my gig for the Fourth of July Celebration" he said (Thad is an awesome Blues guitarist)
I was aghast. "What? You should be going to the ER RIGHT NOW!"
Judy was practically in tears, and said "That's Thad for ya."
Anyway, Thad did the gig and was immediately admitted to the hospital directly after. It seems that he has a blood disorder that is like an auto-immune disease.
I love these folks, even though I just met them a few years ago when I moved into the community. Thad and I often have played together, and Judy has the most beautiful tiny garden in the trailer park. She has inspired me to work in my own garden and has given me a lot of perennial plants to speed up the process. They are very poor, but incredibly generous, open-hearted people.
I told them I would pray for Thad, and ask that you would join me in doing so.
Thanks in advance for your prayers!
This sounds almost like the cellulitis I experienced in my left forearm.
Did the doctor’s give Thad a specific moniker for his swollen purple foot?
Thank you, Salvation, for your prayers and for sharing the request! :-)
Prayers for your friend and his wife... something like this is hard of both of them...
Prayers for Thad that this may be healed and has not moved into his entire bloodstream. Dear Jesus, hear our prayer.

The doctor said that it was the blood disorder that has plagued Thad for a long time. So it seems to be a chronic condition that has blown up.
Thad is now on my prayer list — and his doctors. My DH had a lower leg blood problem Not a good thing to have. Please keep us posted. We care.
