Lucas

I realize that this is not the best topic for reigniting my barely-existent blog, but I deeply covet prayer for my middle baby, Lucas.

To make a long story short, he is currently in the hospital "under observation."

Lukey came down with the flu on the first. We thought he was getting better, but ended up in the E.R. Sunday for severe stomach pain. On Tuesday, I took him back to his pediatrician to be re-evaluated. After examining him, the doctor ordered me to take him back to the E.R. so that he could be admitted to the hospital. We spent 6 fun-filled hours hanging out in the hallway of an over-flowing hospital and were finally given a room.

They've run a battery of tests on him including a CT Scan (with barium inserted orally, intravenously, and rectally. FUN!), blood work, an EKG and still don't seem to know what's wrong.

Please pray for healing for his poor little body. He has been sick fairly often since birth and is still underweight for his age. Pray that the doctors would be given wisdom, knowledge and discernment in making his diagnosis. His pediatrician has been a real blessing and is very vigilant.

Hopefully, I'll have time to update tomorrow. Keith has graciously taken over night duty tonight so that I can get some rest. What an awesome husband!

Sorry for the ramble, I haven't really slept much in the last week.

Thank you so much for your prayers!
