Anti-venom

Logan, Cindy's young cousin, was bit by a Cotton Mouth Viper. Just a baby. But the venom did its job, blackening almost his entire thumb within an hour. They're pumping him full of anti-venom and painkillers. They tried Demerol. It didn't touch the agony he was experiencing. And now he's on "DCH" or something like that. Pretty much morphine.

He was walking down the country road with his mouth when he saw the baby snake along the edge. He went to move it, so it wouldn't get hit by a car. It coiled back and bit him.

We pray he keeps the hand.
