TX Man Battling Flesh Eating Bacteria
My mother-in-law told me about this story earlier today. A SE Texas man from a neighboring town is fighting for his life after going in the ocean in Galveston just about a week and a half ago. It is crazy. Evidently there is a certain type of bacteria that thrives in warm salt-water. Poor guy. All the articles that I've read say that it isn't dangerous for normally healthy people, but the man was diabetic with an ulcer on his leg. The infection has reached his bloodstream and does endanger his life. Please pray for Mr. Gilpatrick.

Update on Kaitlyn
Tomorrow we are heading off to the po-dunk-town hospital. I have never been there before, but it looks very teenie tiny - but sometimes those can be the best ones. It seems that when Kaitlyn had some bloodwork done on Tuesday, it showed that her blood sugar was low - and so the doctor is concerned that her sugar is too low or too high. We are going for a 3 hour glucose tolerance test. If you've had a baby, you likely had one of these where you drink the sickening sweet syrup, and just before you feel like you're gonna die, they take your blood and send you home. Anyhoo, pray that all is well - or that we can at least understand why she passes out. It is a scary thing!
