Update

My head is spinning with hourly changes in Tim's condition.  I just got back from the hospital, where the infectious disease doctor updated us on test results.  The cultures showed staph infection not only in his knee, but in his blood, too.  He has sepsis.  This is an extremely serious situation.  Had we not caught it when we did, his life would have been in danger.  He is not out of the woods, yet.  There is a concern that the infection could have affected his heart valves.  He already has congestive heart failure, so this is very frightening.  We are both anxious.  Once again, I take my fears to the Lord.  I have asked Him for complete healing, recognizing that only He can do that.   I know we do not have the strength to go through this without Him.  My prayer is that our focus can be on the Lord, and we can recognize encounters with him when they occur.
