Philippians 4:4-9
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Broken Rib!!

My wonderful husband, who works hard and plays hard, was just informed that his extremely painful rib is indeed broken!!!

He is playing on the city softball league with our church's team. He has been enjoying pitching this year. On Sunday evening there was a pop ball in front of third base and he leaped to get it. With his arms outstretched he landed on his rib cage unprotected! You know like you see the guys in the big leagues do!! He immediately knew it was bad, but shook it off to play the rest of the game.

Finally under the growing pain and encouragement from his wife and his employees he finally had it checked out.

The verdict is the 6th rib on the left side is fractured!!

Mostly this is just information, as they really do not do anything for broken ribs any more. He is just not supposed to do anything that is painful. Any of you who know David, know that is like almost impossible for him to do!!

We are now waiting for a call from the rheumatologist to see if there is anything extra we need to be doing because of David's AS.

Pray with us for complete healing. Also that his AS will not respond negatively to the added inflammation in this area, thereby increasing the bone fusion in his rib cage. Also that David will be able to take it easy to allow the healing.
