Adam has croup

 

Yesterday Adam woke up from a late nap with a high fever, a croupy sounding cough, and difficulty breathing. This kind of scared us as he didn't even have a cold before his nap. I took him to the emergency room. He was seen right away and given a breathing treatment, chest x-rays, a steroid shot, and an antibiotic. He was diagnosed with two very common childhood illnesses - the croup and pneumonia. We speculate that he probably picked these up when we stayed at a hotel in Durham during Floyd. During that night he moved from his mattress to the floor and Knocker found him face down directly on the damp, moldy carpet.

We would really appreciate prayers for Adam right now and for protection for Logan from sickness. Also, that God will work out the details of next week's scheduling perfectly (Logan needs to get his daily treatments but Adam is contagious and shouldn't be with us at the hospital around cancer patients)

Thank you for praying with us. We know God answers prayer. "This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of Him." (1 John 5:14, 15)

Laura [Knocker, Logan, and Adam]
