Oh so sick!


Please pray for my brother-in-law he is very sick. Monday night my sister took him to the ER because he had been having blinding headaches all day. After some serious medication he finally fell asleep. While he was asleep they gave him a lumbar puncture. He snored the whole way through it which to me is amazing in itself. After all tests came back he was diagnosed with viral meningitis. They said it has come from either Lyme's Disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. They won't know which one for 5 days. He is on heavy medication with antibiotics and pain killers. He said it is the worst pain he has ever felt before. The doctor's think that he should make a full recovery it is just going to take about 2 to 3 weeks. They also said that by bringing him in when they did probably saved his life. WOW! My Mom went up to get both of their girls to help take the load off and she already has Maddie with her. So she has three little girls to spend time with and she probably needs some prayer as well. Chad, we are thinking about you and praying for you. Get lots of rest and feel better soon.
