We praise the Lord for the improvement in Michele Stapleton's hand. Please continue to pray until we see her hand completely restored!
Good news! The doctor just came by and released me from the hospital—with the condition that I hang around NZ for 2 more days just to make sure it doesn’t turn worse (as they’ve sometimes seen happen). The swelling is completely gone and the finger is all fleshy pink again—albeit pus is still coming out, but it is remarkably better. They also are still waiting on the results of lab work they’ve done and that should be ready within 48 hours as well. I still can’t bend the finger but can move it up and down and the feeling/movement should come back. I have been given physiotherapy exercises to do for it. I’ll begin oral antibiotics now (versus IV) and start soaking the finger in saltwater 3/x day as ordered.
Thus, we’ll head to a friend's house to stay, and then Erik can pursue the flight back to Vanuatu after the 22nd.
