update on little boy B

Some of you know that we got word that B was in the hospital. Here is what I know...

-on the 1st he stopped breathing intermittently so his mother took him to the nearest hospital (a 15 minute walk)

-Not sure at what point he was transfered but he was transfered to the University of Chicago Children's hospital ICU.

-He has a severe case of RSV and pneumonia.

-There is fluid in his lungs and air in his chest cavity

-He has been medically paralyzed for the past three days while hooked up to many machines to help him breath and administer medicine.

-The Dr.'s cut him to get some of the air out of his chest cavity

-He had a blood transfusion last night (due to some low blood count)

-he now has a feeding tube as well

-Oxygen levels seem to be improving.

I am not a medical person at all so I don't really understand it all but that is what I have to relay. He still needs lots of prayers! I would also ask for prayer for his parents. I hope this is something that will bring them back together and help them see the importance of a healthy functioning family. They both say they believe in God, I just hope this will strengthen that relationship as well. They are still financially unstable and it has been a challenge for the mom to feed herself while staying with B at the hospital as they have no funds. Keep that in prayer as well. Thanks for all the prayers! I know they work!! All things are possible with God!
