I am posting this prayer request because I am a true believer that the strength in numbers has profound effects.
My friends 4 yr old son has been sick for the better part of a month. Initially the physicians thought that it was pneumonia and treated it as such. After several rounds of antibiotics the symptoms just kept coming back. They admitted him to a St. Louis childrens hospital and then put him in isolation for the possibility of Tuberculosis. After many tests they are still unable to find out what is causing him to have a fever, sometimes as high as 103F. Once again after treating the symptoms, they are still unable to determine what the causes of his fever and sickness is. This coming Monday 3/2/09, he will undergo a biopsy of the lymphnodes around his lungs to rule out lymphoma which is the third most common cancer in kids.
Several of us on this site have kids whether young or older and I can not imagine, being a father myself, of the fear of the unknown and worst case scenario that the family is now going thru.
The childs name is Lucas and he is still very full of energy but keeps asking his mom and dad what the doctors are going to do to him. He is full of life and is a HUGE Tony Stewart fan, although his mom and dad don't find racing very fascinating. I have been over to their house and turned on the race and he will climb up beside me a set as still as a bird and watch every bit of the race without losing interest. Sometimes I find that hard to do myself.
Please, Please, Please keep him in your prayers that he will be lifted up and the symptoms will cease and the physicians will not find a thing wrong with him. Thank you for your time and may God bless each and everyone of you and your families.
