Barbara, I'm sorry to hear that your son is sick. Have already said a prayer for him and will continue. Please keep us updated as you are able.

He has been sick for two weeks, and has had 4 different visits to the E/R and doctor's offices during that time. The first visit to the E/R he was dehydrated and had chest x-rays, and it looked like something was starting in one lung so antibiotics were started then. At that time the doctor said that if he had waited another day it would have been pretty bad, but it looked like they caught it before any complications. After 6 days he went into a doctor's office in town when he was having some difficulty breathing. He now had pneumonia in both lungs, had a breathing treatment and another antibiotic. Then he had a return appt for that Friday. He went in on Friday and they administered some oxygen and referred him to a pulmonary specialist at the hospital, so he went there and they did more tests and he now he was dehydrated again which caused blood clots in his lungs and in one leg. He's getting lots of breathing treatments, oxygen, blood thinners and doing a bit better tonight. They had all told him to go to bed, get lots of rest and get lots of fluids. So, he did! He did nothing else. Needless to say I'm scared! I am not an overly religious person, but I am a spiritual person who believes that prayers are very powerful. For those who believe in prayers and who do pray, can you please add my son to yours? I would appreciate it so much. Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA
