Hi prayer partners,
Our Mardi Gras trip went great. However, Jeff Pursley was stricken with some sort of virus that couldn’t be determined until the tests were sent to Atlanta and made into cultures and then determined. Jeff was taken to the hospital in Hattiesburg, MS by Ivan Lusicic and Ron Turnbull. They stayed with him until Jeff’s wife could come down with the kids. Jeff’s kidney’s shut down and he had many complications. That was a week ago Friday. The virus was diagnosed by Monday and the progress has been slow. Last night was the biggest improvement yet as is reported by Jeannie, Jeff’s wife.
Keep praying!!!
Love ya’s,
Fred

Good evening!
Praise the Lord! Jeff had a fantastic day!!! He had dialysis today, and they removed approx. 7 lbs. of fluid from him. His swelling is going down!!! The blistered leg is beginning to heal.
The blisters have ruptured, and with the reduced fluids, are beginning to dry up. His kidneys are producing more every day, and the rest of the internal organs are responding, too!!! (I'm so happy :) !!!) He is still in the ICU, but he gets very good care there. The nurses are wonderful!
He was awake most of the afternoon and evening, then ate all his dinner before getting any pain medication. Then I sat with him until he went to sleep. All in all, a great day! I am hoping that he will be strong enough to be transported home soon. Mississippi is nice, but there's no place like home.
Thank you all for your prayers and support!
In His service,
Jeff & Jeannie Pursley
