Gail's surgery went well.  Some but not n the all of the swelling has gone down.  She has been able to keep her fingers so far but isn't out of danger yet.  She is still in the hospital.  Thanks to all for the prayers!!

It is unfortunate what happened to your friend.  She is in my prayers.  I hope she gets better and don't lose those fingers.

Prayers for Mom and Son.  I hope the Mom gets better soon.  You didn't say where they were picking berries-but they  definitely weren't ready for that type of horrible attack.

I will keep both of them in my prayers.

Please let us know how your friend is.  Here's to a speedy recovery!

Praises for all of the prayers!  Gail finally got to come home from the hospital after a week's stay.  Her right middle finger is completely black.  She still has swelling in the finger, hand and arm and is still in quite a bit of pain.  She's still not out of the woods yet as far as possibly losing her finger.  She and her grandson (5 year old) were picking strawberries that were in a raised garden bed at her home in Greenup Co., KY.  Her grandson told her something was sharp in them when he had pulled his hand back from picking a berry.  He had a little bit of blood trickling down his hand.  Gail used her left hand to move the berry vines back to see if she saw any glass that may have gotten in there.  She didn't see anything sharp but saw a giant berry.  When she reached down to pick that berry the copperhead snake latched onto her finger.  She had to shake the snake loose.  Her husband saw what was going on and ran to get a hoe.  He proceeded to pulverize the snake.  By this time Gail had already started to swell.
