Pray for our baby boy!

This has a been a really rough weekend for us, to say the least. If you have ever had a sick child, then you know that the worst feeling in the world is seeing your baby sick and in pain, and you can't do a thing about it.

I noticed Wednesday that Tyer had a bit of a runny nose but I didn't think anything of it at the time. Well, he continued to get worse and by Friday evening Tyler was not wanting to eat, he was extremely fussy and crying like he was in pain, and he had a fever of 102. We took him to the after hours clinic and the doctor said that Tyler had a middle ear infection and a cold. He prescribed us some medicine and we were on our way. Later that evening Tyler could not keep any food down, including the medicine. Not just a little spit up ya'll, I mean projectile vomit! And he would not stop crying. I called the clinic and the nurse finally called me back about 9:15pm. She said the best thing for Tyler was sleep. (Well, you try getting a baby to go to sleep without any food in his belly.) Tyler did finally fall asleep though, waking up only a couple times during the night.

We thought he was getting better, but Saturday afternoon his fever had spiked to 104.1. I called the doctor back and he said to take him to Dell Children's Hospital. We spent the entire day at the hospital and poor Tyler had to get an I.V. for blood work. After being in the hospital for 4 1/2 hours, the doctor said Tyler was okay. He just had a virus that was making his temperature spike up, an ear infection that was making him fussy and a cold that was making him vomit, but he would be fine.

So, here we are back at home, feeling helpless. Tyler still has a fever, he still won't eat solid food and all the liquids come right back up, and he is still crying in pain. So.....pray for us. Pray that Tyler will feel better soon....very soon. Pray that his fever will go away, that his nose will stop running, that his ear will stop hurting and that he will keep food in his tiny little belly. Pray for Lamar and I to know how to help him feel as comfortable as possible. Pray for rest for all of us, because it is much needed.

Thanks for your prayers.
