MY NEW GRANDSON NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS.................

Whether the need is great or small, there is power in prayer, especially when God's people raise their voices together.

Thank you for posting an update. He's been on my mind since I read your first post. I'm sorry he's still not out of the woods. I hope he's better soon.

102 for an infant isn't significantly high and the prayers continue. I'm not making light of the fever, I just don't want to see you reading more into that number than is warranted and raising your anxiety level unnecessarily. We're still praying for you also.

You could ask the nurses who are taking care of him about it too -- in babies especially, fever can be a defense mechanism against what ever is causing the infection. A lot of bacterias "can't stand the heat" -- so the fever can kill them off.

I remember when I was a brand new mom -- I had to have driven my doctor crazy the first few times my daughter was sick. One time, she had a fever of 101-102 and he wasn't really doing anything to treat it. The dr said "don't worry about it"... I said "WHEN do I worry about it?".

It really depends on what is causing his fever to start with. If it is infection or inflammation and whether it's a virus or bacteria. There is a lot to consider. Ask them if/when you should be worried about it.

Are they giving you any indications about his progress? I can imagine how helpless you feel. I hope they can get him turned around SOON!!

Hoss we are still praying. Two promises:
Jer 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

God thinks a lot of you or he would not have given you such a heavy burden.

Thanks, I really needed that. He cannot be airlifted because of the rain so he is being driven by ambulance. He is one sick baby and your prayers will do the trick. Thanks, Hoss.

They had to give him a transfusion this morning about 3:30 because his blood pressure fell, but now he is doing better. They still have him sedated but he is responding well to the nitrous oxide treatment. They expect him to be in the hospital for two weeks. Sick little boy.

Thank you for keeping us updated.

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.
