Michael has a clot on his mitral valve and it needs to dissolve or else it will keep the infection going in his body. His blood needs to come out 'clean' with the antibiotic, if not they will have to do open heart surgery again and remove the clot.

Also, if there is too much damage to the valve, they would need to do surgery and as I know from last time...if it's not repairable he would need a replacement.

I hope and pray it does not go that far. I pray that the antibiotics will dissolve the clot and that his valve will be ok. and no surgery will be needed. And he can be infection free and his body will heal. He also has pain in his hip joint. They are going to scan that to make sure that the infection is not in his hip joint, etc.

I'm praying for a miracle.

Thank you for all your prayers and the updates that you forward for prayers, we are so thankful for that.

Love, Sherrill
