Peter had a back ache, head ache, high temperature and vomiting last week. He was given some medicine for ache, etc. Things did not get better but worse. Dr. wanted him to wait a week before doing anything else, sure he would get better. On Thursday took him to another Dr. and were told to get him to the hospital at once. Lots of tests etc. with a final one on Friday morning. Friday night he had emergency surgery for an epidural abscess on his spine. According to the doctors, he is fortunate to be alive and no paralysis. His temperature at the time of the operation was 104. At midnight after surgery it was back to 98. Since then it has been normal. He probably will come home tomorrow, but will have to go back to the hospital every day for an IV dose of antibiotics. That could last up to two months. The abscess was caused by staff infection. Dad & Judy

I will keep him in my prayers.
Wow!! We are glad to hear of the good outcome. Sounds nearly perilous. Every day to the hospital for two months?
Oh my goodness! I will be praying for him.
We pray recovery will go well and give thanks to God for His grace in preserving Peter’s life.

Sorry to hear about the trouble, but glad he seems to be on the mend. Any indications how this happened?

Wow!!!thats a lot going on at once I will be praying for him.
How scary! I’ll be praying.
I was wondering if there is an update on how Peter is doing and if they know how it all started.
