What a night!!

Hello everyone,
John had an awful scare yesterday...he went to turn over in bed and was using his right leg and heard something snap and then his knee was swelling and throbbing in pain!!! He called the doctors and they came and gave him ice temporarily then as soon as possible took him to X-ray and took a few pics....then the thereapist came in and moved his leg and knee around to see if there was problems but by the grace of God they could not see anything on Xray and told him finally that they think he probably pulled a muscle....he was really scared because he thought how is he going to try to rehab if he can't put pressure on that knee...Anway it was a long night for me with him on the phone and so upset....
I spoke to him this morning and he is doing much better since they found nothing in the knee that would indicate any serious injury....What a time he has been having...

Also my classmate Mike Lechwar has some friends from his work that are over there that finally was able to connect with John.....Darren and Debbie called and John was thrilled that he was able to talk to another American and actually have a good conversation... Thank you so much Darren, Debbie, and Mike for your kind consideration for John...

He is so very lonely that this was so welcome in his day...He cannot do to much to respond as well as he wants to but wants to let everyone know he is so appreciative of all the prayers and thoughts...

He might have to be there longer but only time will tell...I would ask for prayers for his anxiousness, his diet, sleep patterns, and pray for courage.

I thank God everyday for all of you that are concerned and involved through prayer
GOD Bless all of you

Sounds like John is having quite a time, Monica! I know it makes you wish you could just give him a big hug and tell him this WILL get better! So hard having him so far away. Wish I could give you a big hug too and say things WILL get better!!
