Prayer Request Update

Hey all,

I just wanted to give an update on my nephew and ask for continued prayer for him. I just left the hospital and today they did a third lumbar puncture on baby Anthony to rule out a specific bacterial infection. With the first he was very dehydrated so they didn't have enough fluid to complete the tests. The second test was contaminated (not exactly sure what that means) so they were unable to identify a negative or positive test result. My sister asked that we pray that this last test comes back negative. Even if this test doesn't come back positive, if it is again contaminated they are going to treat him for the infection. This would be a 21-day treatment and based on our understanding he would have to remain in the hospital for that time because it can only be administered via IV.

My sister and brother-in-law are understandably tired and very concerned. Its been a very stressful time. Its also been difficult because they still have Alyssa, their 2-year-old daughter, at home that they haven't been able to see or spend much time with. On top of everything she's sick with an upper respiratory infection and is on antibiotics. She's doing well, but really misses mom and dad.

Your continued prayers are greatly appreciated!

Lindsey
