Had I just prayed for my one year old many years ago in order to heal her from a 104 temperature and her inablity to stand or walk as she had been doing since 9 months she would not have lived. I took her to the doctor immediately and she was admitted to the hospital. One knee was 2 inches bigger than the other one. She had a heart murmur. She had been a normal healthy infant until this incident. Her knee was tapped for fluid and it took three days to discover she had a staff infection that had settled in her knee. She had no cuts on her knee! She was in hospital for a week and on antibiotics for a month and her leg was placed in a cast from top to bottom. I was told to keep her off her feet. nearly impossible but I could put her in a playpen to limit her activity. At two weeks her cast was changed. She had it on another two weeks. I was told the staff could reoccur but it did not.
