Shaun to Inova Loudoun ED

Denise and Shaun are currently on their way to the Emergency Department.   Shaun begun a cyclic vomiting episode this morning, wrenching in pain a lot.  It has continued throughout the day and the little guy has not been able to hold anything down.  He is now significantly dehydrated and running a fever (probably related to dehydration).

Please pray for Shaun -- to get the fluids he needs to hydrate his body, to stop vomiting and hold down his food so that he can get the nutrition his body needs, and to get rest for his little body.  Pray for the doctors to know how to best treat Shaun and help him at this time.  Pray for Denise to continue to have strength to do whatever is necessary, to have wisdom in making good decisions for her son and family, and to rest as well.  Pray for Peter, Stephen, and Scott, at home who are concerned about Shaun.  

Thank-you for lifting them up.


*****UPDATE*****
After running tests, his white blood cell count came back at 39,000 (the normal range of total WBCs is 4,500 to 11,000 WBCs per microliter).  All other tests came back normal. The doctors are going to do a CT scan and lumbar puncture to try and figure out why his WBCs are so high.
