The following is an update on Eagle from the Internet Monk.Deb is hoping to visit him tonight or tomorrow.
"Eagle and I had a good conversation on the phone this afternoon. They transferred him to a different room (in the middle of last night — ugh!) so it took me a few minutes to get hold of him. He gave me a few graphic descriptions of his red, swollen, and weeping leg which I will spare you, preferring to move on the good news that his vital signs are all stable and good right now, that he is getting up now and then to move about, and that he continues to be grateful for all the support he has received.
The medical folks have told him this will be a three to four week process. I asked him if there were any complications with his work, and he said no.
In the past year, he has asked us to pray for his father who has had some serious health problems, and we talked about that. He is concerned about his mom, who is caught between two health situations at the moment, and also asked us to continue praying about some significant tests his dad will be having in the near future.
His main concern for himself continues to be the healing of his leg."
9:00 PM Friday
I just arrived back in Raleigh after a great visit with Eagle. He is now accepting strongerpain medicine since he is having a lot of pain and understandably so! He is essentially bedbound at this time. Things are up in the air as the doctors continue to monitor the course of the infection.As of this morning, there was no discussion or estimate of discharge. Please continue to pray that the infection comes under control and does not advance beyond the thigh.He is in good spirits and enjoys reading the well wishes. he is so grateful for all of you. He is open to visits.
Both Deb and I will be out of pocket for most of the day tomorrow. I wil ltry to jump into the discussion tomorrow evening and Sunday. Thank you for bearing with us.
9:30 PM Thursday Eagle has a seriously infected leg. They are planning on multiple IV antibiotics for some time to come; hence, he will be having a central line placed in the next day. I am hoping the red above the knee is due to serious inflammation and not infection, but new cultures were taken today and he will know for sure in 48 hours. He is in quite a bit of pain; however, he is now getting medication that will help him in this area.
The good news is that he is "with the program." He is conversant and even has a sense of humor. That means a lot in these situations. He cannot believe all the well wishes. Last night, when he was having trouble sleeping, he was able to read most of them. He is so grateful for the support. He kept saying it was "unbelievable." He loved the visit from "Leila". She brought him train magazines. Eagle is a model train aficionado.
I will spend the morning with him and see how things go.
8:30 PM Eagle's infection is spreading into the thigh. Dee will head to hospital tomorrow and stay until Friday. Deb and her family will be in DC this weekend and will also visit.
5:30 PM Wed
Leila drove 90 minutes to get to Eagle. Thank you for being so kind! Where did all these wonderful people come from on our blog?? However,she brings word that the good people at Internet Monk are attempting to out do us. Never fear! We glam blog queens will not take this lying down!!!
From Leila:
"I had a delightful 90-minute visit with Eagle today. Once he felt comfortable I wasn't some strange internet stalker, we had a great time discussing theology, our observations and experiences with churches, and more. He is such a kind, gentle soul and for a fellow as sick as he is, I never would have known he was in great pain. He was sharp as a tack and not the least bit grumpy — which makes him a much finer person than me, because when I'm sick I'm not nearly as articulate or personable. He did say he was so bored that even listening to a John Piper sermon would be a treat.
We found many common points of interest besides theology, not the least of which is that he's a history buff like my husband, and that every now and then he gets to Annapolis (where we live) so we might get together in the future. He showed me his leg – yowza!!! His nurse, Matthew, is a Christian and seems to be the perfect person to be taking care of him.
While I was there, a box of chocolates and flowers arrived from the crew at Internet Monk.
Anyway, thought you'd like to hear that his spirits seem pretty good and that the love and prayers of the internet community are really blessing him."
Update 12:30 PM
Eagle is in a lot of pain. The doctor told him that he has the worst case of cellulitis he has ever seen. Eagle sent me pictures. Hubby and I concur with the doc. They have added another IV antibiotic to treat any possible overlooked bug but the thought is that strep is the culprit. Eagle cannot walk at all due to the pain which concerns him greatly.
In the meantime, some wonderful folks from the blogs are going to support him today with visits. You all humble me. Some of you have been deeply hurt by the church and yet you continue to serve Jesus. Thank you for your sacrificial lives.
Update 5:30pm —This is a cool update by none other than Chaplin Mike of the Internet Monk
"I spoke with Eagle by telephone earlier this afternoon. He said he feels very run down, but there are some positive signs. “Slow progress,” he called it. More than anything else, he said how much he has been impressed by the grace that has been coming his way through all of you. He also mentioned the chaplain visit as a helpful and encouraging contact. The infection in his leg is still a problem, and he continues to run a fever, so let’s continue praying for him." You all are amazing. Thank you.
Update 11:20AM Eagle said the doctors said his CT looked good with no spread to the bone, etc. Although the cultures are still not back, they are beginning to think that it is not staph (MRSA). They are planing to continue the IV antibiotics since it is clear that he has some sort of infection.(I'm betting strep-medical people like to place bets on organisms). He is still waiting for the Infectious Disease specialist to visit him.
He had a great conversation with the hospital chaplain who emphasized grace and mercy over condemnation. He said thinking about all of you who care is an example fo that. A friend is going to deliver his smart phone later today so he can read all of the comments. Thank you so much for sharing your love with Eagle.
8:30AM Tues:
Of course, Eagle called while I was in the shower and I will not be able to ring through on his room phone until 10AM. This is the message that he eft. He was moved to the cardiovascular floor since they can monitor him while giving him a quiet room to sleep. His blood pressure is looking good but his temperature is still high and his leg is bright red and blistering. He does not have the CT results as yet. He says he would be happy to receive visitors so I will contact those of you that have offered. I will update after 10AM.
The new post follows this update. I want to keep Eagle front and center for now.
**********
Please pray for Eagle, our regular commenter, who was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit in a hospital in the DC area with a serious systemic infection which grew out of a cut on his leg. He is very, very sick. I have changed this announcement to allow for comments or you can send emails to TWW which we will forward to his email account. pray for God's strength and peace.

Thank you for praying. Yes, it is sepsis. Pray that it is strep, not staph (flesh eating). It takes a couple of days for the cultures to come in. However, it he responds to the IV antibiotics overnight, that will be a god sign. I just spoke with him. He is feeling really sick and is so glad that people are praying for him.

His family is not in the area and, as he has told us, his dad has a brain tumor. I will speak with him in a couple of hours and let him know you could visit. I bet he would love it if he is doing better. I will get back to you.

Sepsis (what my parents’ generation called “Blood Poisoning”) is BAD. Took a quick look at Wikipedia about it and it said that the death rate can be anywhere between 20 to 60% (no details) and can increase by 5-7% for each HOUR’s delay in treatment. Even with 21st Century First World medicine, it’s a killer.
Basic treatment is to saturate the patient with IV antibiotics in a race to kill the infection before the infection (or side effects of the antibiotics) kills the patient, and try to head off major organ failures along the way.

We had a friend, and elderly lady, who in the early ’90s was hospitalized with the flesh eating bacteria and was cured with massive IV antibiotics and some hyperbaric oxygen treatment (as in encasing the leg involved in an enclosure and puttting oxygen in under some increased pressure). It took some time, but she was back in church and doing her community mission work with her husband. Just a sweet, phenomenally dedicated and hard working (for one of any age) Christian.
I am convinced that this battle can be won. We need to be praying for the doctors, the lab personnel, etc., that all will find the right combination to stop this infection.

I am absolutely amazed by your comment!
I listened to Wade’s sermon LIVE at 12:30 (eastern time) today; and while he was preaching, I started setting up next weekend’s EChurch with the Bible verse and questions his assistant sends me.
After listening to Wade’s message, I started adding the songs. Three were from Emmanuel’s service and the fourth one (which will be the opening song) is Everlasting God by Lincoln Brewster. We used to sing that song quite a bit at my former church and it just popped into my head for some reason. I have the song in my history as proof. I never get the EChurch set up this early. Yes, He is the Everlasting God, and He is absolutely incredible!

Actually the song “Everlasting God” is by Brenton Brown, not Lincoln Brewster. I had thought it was by Chris Tomlin, who has recorded it, I think. I had to correct my blog post (http://virginiaknowles.blogspot.com/2012/07/weekend-gratitude-sundae-sunday-little.html), which, by the way, includes a prayer request for Eagle. Brown wrote the song while suffering from chronic fatigue. Article is here: http://sg.christianpost.com/dbase/culture/1347/section/1.htm

Psalm 103
Of David.
1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children —
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the Lord, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.

Virginia K,
What a wonderful experience with your daughter! We listened to a lot of contemporary Christian music when my daughters were young. It had a tremendous impact on them. Wish all these YouTube videos had been available then.
Eagle is always sending us YouTube links in e-mails and also in comments. He needs our encouragement now. I’m still amazed that you mentioned this song earlier today. God is good!

I am so sad to hear this. Eagle, I really appreciate what you contribute here – when I first started frequenting TWW, your comments stood out for their candour and humour. My mom would ask me ‘did you read what Eagle just posted?’, like you’re an old friend. Along with the rest of TWW family, I’m praying for you.

Dee/Deb,
I have a friend on staff at a church in DC – moderate Baptists. Please send me the hospital and other info re Eagle and I will ask them to visit. When we were in the hospital for a week after a wreck while traveling, the visits by a local church (twice a day, every day) were a wonderful encouragement.

Eagle, just read of your situation on I-monk, came here to learn more. I am embracing you within my heart, where dwells the Blessed Trinity; asking them to Embrace you with all the power of their healing Grace and Merciful Love to restore you to a greater health than you’ve ever known on every level of your being.

Good morning Eagle, I wandered over to tww to find an update on you and finding none, peeked at all the lovely posts of people all over praying for you, longing to be able to do more like visit you, etc., and I echo te dude who wants to meet you for coffee one day if he’s in d.c. I think many of us would relish a cup of coffee with you. When I found out you were sick last night, I mentioned you to my husband and he remembers you as well; you leave an impression with your words and I think the wanderers that frequent IM and TWW understand where you’re coming from. Well, I do. Praying for you thru the day friend. Wish I lived closer. Peace.

Eagle
Praying for you… And with you…
Found some verses about one of your favorite subjects… Trains…
1Kings 10:2
And she came to Jerusalem **with a very great train,**
with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and “precious stones:”
and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
And you are one of God’s “Precious Stones.”
Isa 6:1
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne,
high and lifted up, and **his train filled the temple.**
And I believe – “You are the Temple of God” and the Spirt of God dwells in you. 1 Cor 3:16.
And some verses about Healing are also becoming a favorite subject for you. 😉
* Psalm 107:19-21
Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble,
and he saves them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them,
and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,
and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
* Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are as a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
* Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.
* Jeremiah 33:3
Call to me and I will answer you, and will show you
great and mighty things which you do not know.
6 Behold, I will bring to you health and healing,
and I will cure you and reveal to you abundance of peace and truth.
* Malachi 4:2
But to you that fear my name
shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;
Fly High Eagle…

Blessings upon you, your doctors, and everyone who knows you, loves you, and cares for you. And as you experience healing from the sepsis, may you be healed in every other place that might have been injured or damaged over your lifetime — Oh, Lord, from South Carolina, I’m asking for your blessing, your healing, your loving care and healing power to be upon Eagle — that he may truly rise up on wings of eagles.

You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. My mom, who follows our blog, is also very concerned about you and has been praying. Keep getting better! It’s just not the same without your challenging comments. 🙂

Hi Eagle,
still praying & thinking of you. My son had a strep infection in his leg a number of years ago, & it took them a little while to figure out what was going on, so I know a little bit about what you are going through. He came through it OK, and I am praying that you will be feeling better very soon! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Eagle }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear it is spreading. 🙁 I can imagine that it must be excruciating – I once had cellulitis on my ankle and the pain was unbearable. One of my most embarrassing moments ever. I was at college that day, determined to make it to my last class of the day in spite of the pain. Almost got to class but wound up sobbing on the floor in the hall, unable to walk any further. A professor who I didn’t even know came running out of his office. He actually wheeled me out of the building, across the parking lot, to my car – on his office chair! (Hope that gave you a good laugh if you’re able to read this).
Still praying for you, Eagle.

I remember that when my then-boyfriend got an infection in his leg, it was one of the scariest moments of my life – the whole thing swelled up and went purple. of course, he saw no need to go to the emergency room until my freaking out became too much for him. I’m still freaking out slightly just thinking about it and wondering what would have happened if he hadn’t gone.

Hey Eagle! So nice to see your typeface. But you’re scaring me with the Piper thing, has the infection reached your brain? 😉
You need some nice Radio 4 or the World Service on the radio to keep you entertained when you feel so bad, lovely English voices murmuring gently should just send you right off to sleep…
Will keep praying my best feeble prayers for you!

Eagle,
It’s good you’re able to be on here and comment.
That really stinks about the Piper sermon, though. 🙁
I’m thinking the company of good friends should clear up that nasty symptom, at least!
Dee and Deb coming sounds like just the thing right now.
I wish I could make you better. I suppose everybody else feels the same.

Eagle,
My youngest, Julianna, had cellulitis about three years ago, it was frightening how quickly the bump on her leg went from looking like a spider bite to something omnious.
I called my second-born, Jennifer, and described the situation and, thankfully, the girl was home and she made the twenty minute drive to our place and took one look at it and asked me which hospital I wanted to go.
We ended up at Nemours (duPont) where she was in her third year of residency.
The poor girl had to have it lanced and drained (she held up like a trooper) and the er resident was one of Jennifer’s friends. Jenn noted, “Don’t worry, we’re friends, we want to be fellows together.”
Which confused the heck out of Julianna, how could her sister be a fellow with her girlfriend? She is now a neonatology fellow and Julianna sort of gets it.)
In our case, It *was* MRSA and we had a couple of bad secondary flare ups but today, all Julianna has to show for the experience is a good story to tell her friends and a badass scar on her calf.
Thinking of and praying for you, Eagle. I hope my war story wasn’t too tedious.

Brother Eagle…..don't piss off one of us nurses and earn a catheter. Really, you are so lifted in prayer, and all us medical types want to swarm in and check on your care. Know you feel like poop and are isolated and miserable….but it is part of being the one in the hospital bed. Rest, get therapy, be decent to your nurses….and know that God and tons of us love you for no reason at all except that you are our Eagle.

Good to see you on here, Eagle. I know what you mean about nurses becoming rather numb to the suffering. I’ve spent nearly a year (total over the last several years) in hospitals with terminally ill children – I’ve seen it all. But sometimes we’d have nurses that were absolutely amazing and so in tune, too. Made things so much more bearable. I hope you get one like that tomorrow. 🙂

@Eagle “Is that HO or N?” N Scale
“What rail line are you modeling?” BNSF. No specific location. I do some rail fanning too. We’ve got a major yard here in town and I used to take the kids to watch the trains roll by. It’s been a while though. I need to get out and do some more now that I have a half decent DSLR.

Eagle,
There is a big no huge HO train setup at the carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh that is up all year round. I haven’t seen it in a couple of years but every year they add something new and a lot of things are in motion.
Not too far from you once the leg heals. Stay positive and hang in there.

Eagle: I know next to nothing about train modeling. My grandfather, however, was a hostler on the L & N railroad in SE Kentucky.

I’ve been lurking for quite some time, but I’ve never posted till now. I’ve been out of town and got back to read the news about Eagle. I decided to join tonight just to tell Eagle that I’ve been praying for him and hope he gets well very soon.

Hi Eagle, I hope your white blood cells are winning the fight against the infection! I was lying awake praying for you and the words of Psalm 121 popped into mind and wouldn’t leave. It’s one of my favourites:
‘I lift up my eyes to the hills-
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip-
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you-
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and for evermore.’
May He continue to watch over you.
Blessings
Estelle

There’s an update on Eagle at IM.
Notice: Undefined variable: button in /home/guswo2wr8yyv/public_html/tww2/wp-content/plugins/quote-comments/quote-comments.php on line 127
That’s good news about Eagle, and I am continuing to pray for him and his family.
I want to thank those who can actually visit him, sharing friendship.
GRIN, we now know another thing about Eagle, besides his model railroading interests is that he probably does NOT have any cats. I can only imagine the type of havoc that a cat can do to a set up.

Well….
I am passionately, joyfully and humbly submitting to your superior knowledge and loving authority in truth.

I had a great visit with Eagle this evening. His vital signs were good, but his right leg looked so painful! Please continue to pray for complete healing.
He has no idea how long he will be in the hospital and is taking it one day at a time. Eagle was in good spirits and extremely coherent. I enjoyed his sense of humor as we talked.
Keep praying for our buddy Eagle.

So glad you’re up and walking. Will you need physical therapy? I am, unfortunately, a frequent flyer in that department and may be able to recommend a practice, depending on your location. Hang in there!

Great news, Eagle! I’m continuing to keep you in my prayers.
Thanks for the D.C. sightseeing tips. Yesterday we toured literally ALL day, finishing with dinner in Georgetown. Today we stopped by Mount Vernon on the way home.
I’m so glad that you’re able to get around. Don’t overdo it. 🙂

Remembering you daily as I check for updates here and on I-monk. How wonderful it is to see God loving on you through so many people you have never met. Witness of true Christianity in action.
From feedback of those who were blessed to visit you I believe I have come to “know” you beyond your blog responses…Know that if I were able I would most certainly come to visit…as it is I am far away with no means to get to you physically. Know that my heart has continued to hold you with much love and lift you in prayer before the merciful heart of Jesus.
Your pain and suffering from this awful ordeal has to be tremendous if not at times overwhelming. Within your heart where God dwells, as best you can, unite your pain to that of Jesus laying it on the altar of your heart. I’ve done this in the past; closing my eyes, visually embracing the cross upon which Jesus hung, I’d ask Him to bring some good out of my pain. Doing this always gave me strength to endure. I so ask the Blessed Trinity to embrace you in such a way that it cannot but overflow into your experiencing the actual hug (((Eagle))) of God.
Much Love to you Eagle 🙂 🙂 🙂

So glad to see you commenting on various posts again Eagle 🙂
I pray you will get wonderful care in the special nursing facility. You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers.

Hey Eagle, hoping this move to the skilled nursing facility gives you hope of beating this thing. I hope you see this-can you receive care packages with goodies and if so, do you have any food allergies? I lived at children’s hospital in Los Angeles for seven weeks with my daughter and homemade goodies were like a cool drink of water on a hot day. And if you REALLY like some things over others, post that too. Thx, Lisa
P.s. -still praying for you

Eagle –
So sorry about the change and frustration. I can only imagine what is going on for you. I will keep praying that you heal fast and get out of rehab ASAP. Take care of yourself and try not to stress — think trains!

Well, I just blew my cork over at IM on hearing this latest update.
O, Eagle, so so sorry that you are back at the hospital. My prayers are yours.
BTW, You responded with such compassion to one of my posts awhile back…
Take care & be well, you are appreciated & loved for speaking for those of us who cannot put to words the damage done…

Eagle, may your body find an ally in this fight against infection. May your heart be comforted by knowing we care for you (the good care, not the other one.) May your soul find rest in the palm of God’s hand.

As always holding you in my thoughts and prayer… Merciful Trinity given Eagle the strength he needs in this awful ordeal, flood his heart and mind and soul with your abiding peace and the experience of your loving presence.

Oh my goodness Eagle. 🙁 I’m so sorry things have gone backwards. How frustrating. I know how dreadful those extended stays can be (I was in the hospital for nearly a month, FAR from family once – it was terrifying). I will continue to pray for you.

Hi Eagle, just back after few days vacation, checking in to get an update. Glad to hear you’re home which means there’s improvement to be grateful for. If I were closer I’d gladly help you out but unfortunately that’s not the case. Continuing to hold you in my heart, praying for God to abundantly bless you and continue to heal you on every level. 🙂
