He went and saw Dr. Maddox, the surgeon, this afternoon and he now is scheduled for surgery. It appears his tendon is completely severed. He also is getting a bit of infection in the wound despite our many many cleanings and wraps, so he is on a stronger antibiotic now. The doctor said "not to scare you, but to scare you...if the infection spreads to his arm that they might have to amputate..." EEK! So stronger antibiotics are a must! So we scheduled for Monday morning, but they had a spot open this Thursday, so we are going to reschedule it first thing in the morning for Thursday and just cancel our Atlanta trip so
Jarom won't miss as much work. Boo. So keep
Jarom in your prayers, they said he will be totally worthless for 72 hours after surgery.

I will feel so much better when Jarom gets that operation over with.
Oh my gosh! You guys are in our prayers and I hope the surgery goes well.
Ughh - let us know if we can do anything to help - I'd love to keep Addie to (if you think she'd stay!). Lots of prayers...
Yikes, girl! We'll keep you guys in our prayers! I hope that everything goes great!
