Tim is in the University Hospital in Basel, Switzerland, recovering from very unexpected surgery last night. On Monday (which was a holiday here) we were sorting and packing some more boxes when Tim's left elbow started swelling and hurting. As the day wore on it got worse. Yesterday morning Tim woke with a fever. That caused a lot of consternation to our BFA doctor who came right over to our house to examine Tim. Long story short - after many tests throughout the day in the hospital, the surgeon told Tim that this needed to be tended to immediately because he had a bad infection in his elbow. Last night the infected area, the bursa (look it up online) was removed. Luke and I went to visit him this morning. He is feeling better today but still has pain. We are hoping that he can come home tomorrow. Thanks for praying for a quick recovery and for no further complications.
And yes! Luke is home which we are thrilled about!!! His homecoming was rather anti-climatic for him, because he was hoping to see both his mom AND his dad at the airport! But Tim was on his way to the hospital while I was on my way to the airport!
This is the view out of Tim's hospital room. He is on the 6th floor.
Very swollen arm!

whats up with the gang gesture?
Umm...yeah...welcome home, Luke?!! Hope you're heading home soon, Tim! And Sandee, SOOOO glad you have someone else there to help with packing!
Cute dress. (A little short, but cute.) :-)
Luke is looking far too happy to be any good at all to the convalescing patient! But I can tell that Tim is very happy that he's there anyway....... :)
