Life can get hairy.....

Well!  My hubby has an infected finger.  When it started bothering him 2 weeks ago, I pulled out the Epsom salts and essential oils and went to work!  I treated it 2-3x a day for a week.  It did not get better.  It got worse.

Last Friday we had it lanced and spent all weekend on pain meds, antibiotics and draining it.  (gag)  Monday, the dr looked at it and immediately called to schedule an appt for hubby with a hand surgeon.  Found out today that he has osteomyelitis (a bone infection) and it has infected about 1/2 of top bone in his left index finger.  We are in the ER waiting for a hospital room so he can have surgery tomorrow to open his finger up, scrape the infected bone & remove the rest of the infected tissue.  YUCK.  It's a resistant infection so he'll also be on IV antibiotics for 6 weeks. 

We're still processing all that info and covet your prayers!!

Blessings!
