Back to the Spiders

Mike came home from work this morning & showed me his ankle...it was swollen, red & gross! He was working downstairs, getting boxes ready for pickup & sorting through our yard sale stuff that hopefully soon we will be selling. He said it started itching yesterday & got worse last night when he was at work, then this morning when he got home it just started killing him. I got a phone call from him at 3 saying that he was going to go to the Doctor because the pain was getting unbearable. The Doctor thinks it is a bite of some sort (probably from working downstairs yesterday & it was probably a spider...check out my post a couple days ago! Spiders) & since is started out itching & then turned to burning & pain it was either infected & venomous. So he got a cream antibiotic to put on it twice a day & we are to watch it to make sure it gets better, not worse. If it gets worse, the he will have to go back in for a shot! Please pray that it gets better & it isn't anything worse than just a spider bite. Here are some pictures of his ankle...the picture doesn't even do it justice...it looks a lot worse than it shows & it was a lot worse this afternoon than tonight when I took the picture.
