Bronchitis...

Today I took Shaun to the doctor because my mommy sense was going off.  He was not in respiratory distress, have a fever, or breathing too fast but I new he was having a hard time and sounded terrible. I tried to get into our normal pediatrician but they were booked up (tons of sick kids since the start of school and cold/flu season), but was able to get in at the care clinic here in town. The PA who saw him told me that his cold has turned into asthmatic bronchitis and has the potential to develop into pneumonia. I need to watch him for a rise in temperature, continued trouble breathing, green mucus, wheezing and respiratory distress. They started him on Omnicef, a powerful antibiotic and prednisolone, a steroid.

Please pray for Shaun today, that it doesn't get worse, he is strengthened by the Ultimate Physician and touched in a way that everyone can see it is God. Pray he is able to sleep well and that the mucus will dislodge from his lungs. That this will pass quickly and not have negative repercussions on his spirit, abilities, or healing from surgery. In Jesus' name.

Phil 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Psalm 41:3
The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness.
