Hey ladies,

I really really need some prayers for my brother-in-law Walter.  He is 27 years old and is in ICU in Fayetteville, Arkansas.  He has contracted a serious illness called Necrotizing Fasciitis.  It is a very rare form of the Strep A virus (that causes strep throat), and is also known as the Flesh Eating Virus. 

The virus is literally eatting his arm from the inside out.  He is is excrusiating pain.  And he may very well loose his hand if not his whole arm.  The virus is semi under control for now. They have stopped the spreading of it before it got to close to his heart.  And it is his left arm so that wasthe first thing they did.

He has already had a few surgeries on it and has many more to come in the months ahead. We have no idea how long he will have to be in the hospital or anything, but it is very serious and he is finally admitting that he is terrified.

So, please please please, pray for him, send positive thoughts, positive vibes, good juju, whatever your religion is. 

Thank you.
