A snake bite specialist met with him, and reassured us that what is going on is okay. This should be the plateau before the upswing. Everyone feels much better now that we have word from someone who really has experience in this area. The plastic surgeon is concerned about the swelling in his hand cutting off the nerves at his wrist that control his hand, and so if it doesn't go down by this afternoon, he will have a small procedure done. Just an incision to give things some room... nothing too major, it will only require local anesthetic. We're all very relieved - there was a bit of panic after the swelling had increased so much this morning.

praying for Dad these past two days...thinking of the man who hugged Greg & smiling~
So the Snake Doctor is in. Good, we're encouraged too. I would have thought a South Texas city hospital would have had more experience w/ bites.
It's great to hear your Dad is eating and interacting w/ family. I know you are all encouraged. We missed him at achurch this morning. But his injury was announced and we prayed for God's healing touch.
And the prayers go on...
