Update on Erick

Candido just stopped by our house.  PLEASE be in prayer if you will for little Erick (Candido's son).  Erick is 5 yrs old  and in kindergarten at Trujillo Christian School (sponsored by the Galligan's) apparently he had an accident on a friend's bicycle.  The doctor told them if they would have waited one more day the foot would have had to have been amputated because of the infection.  

Truly I just can't tell you how pitiful it was.  

On top of the infection it is broken at the ankle by my understanding.  

Thad and I have arranged to go tomorrow to visit him.  

Poor little Erick was afraid of the anesthesia and asked them not to give it.  he'd had it for some dental work and was very afraid of it.  So he tried to get the work done on it without anesthesia, and quickly changed his mind.  

He will be in the hospital several days.  They aren't sure how many right now I believe the focus is on the infection.  We will hopefully know more tomorrow.  But please pray for little Erick, his mother Wendy, father Candido and brother Gerson (who is not enjoying being away from his Mommy right now at ALL!)
