More Prayers Please

This cute boy is Alex. He is my nephew (Taun's son) who is 22 months old. Nikell is trying to feed him ice cream in this picture...

Alex is in the hospital. He had a seizure yesterday at about 3:30 pm and so was transported to Logan Regional where they ran tests, gave him an anitbiotic, and released him at about 7:30 pm. Taun came to get Benjamin (Alex's older brother) from our house and while Shannon was sitting in the car Alex had another seizure. So we called 911, again, and he was transported back to Logan Regional. During the night he had 3 more seizures, and this morning he had 3 more. It's getting worse and he's not coming out of them as fast anymore. Right now he's on his way. to Primary Children's where a neurologist is waiting.

This has happened once before, but not to this extent. The correlation seems to be getting sick and throwing up and diarreah. Last time I think he had 2 seizures and they called it a life-threatening event. This time it's not going away and they need prayers. Please.

I can't believe how much your family has been going through lately! I really hope (and pray) your nephew will be better soon and he can receive the treatment he needs. I wish I were nearby to help you! Keep going strong, you're amazing.

He will be in my prayers (as well as his whole family). I hope that he recovers quickly and the doctor at PCMC has some answers.

Hugs. Prayers. Love.

They are in good hands. The PCMC neurology dept has my utmost respect. I know they will give sweet Alex the best help (aside from Heavenly Father's miracles, of course).

Love to you too, JD.
