Hi. He is in my prayers, also, and I am in a ChristCare group at my church that meets Sunday evenings every-other-week, and we offer prayers for prayer requests, so I will include him in our prayers this week as well. I am familiar with Cellulitis, and it can be successfully treated with antibiotics usually. Sometimes the person who has it has to be hospitalized for IV antibiotics until it starts responding. Diabetes might complicate it, and vice-versa, but things should work out with good doctors, and PRAYERS, etc.

I think it is probably a lot scarier for you when no-one tells you what is going on, than when you are included and are told about things. At least if you are aware of what is going on you can understand it a little better, and/or know what to pray for, etc.

How old are you---do you still live at home with your parents? Does your mom think you're too young to be told what's going on, etc.? Maybe you can talk to her, and tell her it scares you more when you aren't included in the discussion than if you are told what is happening, so you don't have to wonder, and worry about the worst, etc. Maybe that would help her understand why it would be better to let you in on things a little more. I bet she would be proud of you for asking for prayers, too. I know I would be if you were my daughter!

Take care, and know you aren't alone...... there are LOTS of people out here praying for your dad, and for you, and for your mom too! Hang in there......
