Prayers needed

Just when we think there is a light at our tunnel, its darkened by another infection. Ron was re-admitted at St Joseph hospital tonight. It seems the infection is back and the 3 antibiotics they have him on are not strong enough to kill it so they have started a central line that goes to his heart and allows the IV antibiotics to work better. They will be doing another MRI and ultrasound to rule out a blood clot and determine if the infection is throughout his leg again.
He has gained 15 lbs in 10 days because infection is pulling the fluid out of his blood and he is retaining it. It has now lead to dehydration and his kidneys are working extra hard with the lack of fluids. Its all a vicious cycle, that has obviously taking its toll on his body and his mental health. He is sick and tired of being sick and tired. :(
I just wanted to give everyone an update and ask that you keep Ron in your prayers.
