Please Pray for Tim

Tim had a surprise "informal consultation" with his boss yesterday. It was about the fact that he's had to take 13 days off here & there for minor sicknesses or infections in the last 9 months (3 days was for bursitis in his elbow, as he wasn't allowed to use the arm at all!!). Even though he was sickness-free for 6 months the end of last year, they are still concerned that he's taken that many days off for minor illnesses in the last 9 months.

Basically, if he kept at this rate he would get a "formal consultation," then a warning, and then get fired. We're not exactly sure of the time between these things or how many sicknesses they DO tolerate. He has been so much improved since last August, but evidently not enough. He is such a good worker and does so well for them, often better work than many other employees...

We don't know if he's getting immune to the echinacea, or what... he took some "time off" of it (as mom's doctor instructed) for a few months last spring and went on it again a month or so ago. I'm trying to do more research on the immune system, etc. I think probiotics might be a good thing to try, if I can find a good one...

It's been hard for Tim. He didn't sleep too well last night - NOT what he needs right now!! He's asked them some questions today to clarify some ambiguous wording in the sickness policy. I'm concerned, too... just had to share it with you all to get it off my chest a bit!! Please pray for Tim's health, and for both of us for wisdom as to what to do!!
