Many of you asked about Karlton so I asked him if he would like to share an update on his recovery from surgery… Lisa
For those not interested in my health update, I beg your indulgence. Though being plagued with health problems for years, the past year has been surreal for me and continues to be so.
After being released from the hospital a day early, I told my wife on the way home that I always get a bit nervous when things appear to be going too well. I was right in this instance. I had had a terrible reaction to the percocet pain reliever that was prescribed to me, and by last night had a fever of 104 degrees. I’ve never had a fever that high before and I thought for awhile there that I was dying, and actually said that to the ER doctor.
Well, evidently it wasn’t my time yet. They scanned my surgery area and got my fever down and everything appears to be OK. It looks like the change in pain meds and going from getting everything through my veins to taking the stuff orally has set me back a bit, but tonight I’m doing much better.
Your prayers are much appreciated and coveted for my recovery. I have good people around me and a brother who is a registered nurse so again, I’m in good hands. It is just a matter of time and patience for my recovery and adjustment.
I thank God for each one of you and again, thanks for your prayers.
Sincerely, Karlton

Karlton – thank you so much for sharing with us. I know many have been praying for you and it is nice to know how God has been using our prayers.
Please know that they will continue. You may even have some devotionals coming down the road from what you are experiencing now.
Hope to hear from you “soon” in that regard.
With care,
Lynn
Karlton,
Thanks so much for the update. I’m very thankful that the ER doctors were able to find the cause for your high temperature and get you stabilized again! I know recovery can often try one’s patience, so lean on the Lord and let Him guide and heal you in His own time. My prayers will be with you, and I know many others are praying also!
I wouldn’t mind getting another update when you feel up to it. With or without the updates, you will most certainly be in my prayers for a smooth and speedy recovery from this point on.
Blessings,
Martha
