Operating Room in Casa George

During meal times, if Amy isn't feeling well, someone sits with her while the rest eat.  Last night, as I sat with Amy and she chatted about how much her head hurt and how nauseated she was, I heard a crash/thud and a yell, "Dad!  Uncle Lyle fell on the floor and his head is bleeding!"  Lyle has been victim of Montezuma's revenge for the last day and a half and it made him so light-headed he passed out at supper, fell on the floor and cut open his forehead.  Luckily, I still have all the needed equipment for minor surgery in my pharmacy, so the George Family OR team (Sarah and Ben held lights, Paul handed me equipment and Mia sat with Amy) got to work and patched him up.  Our couch has seen a lot of surgeries.  I used especially large needles as payback for all the mean things Lyle did to me from when we were kids. 

Amy is doing better today and even ate a bit of breakfast.  But she is still having lots of pain and is pretty confused most of the time.  Please pray that her pain subsides.
