Prayers Needed

So yesterday afternoon I noticed Hayden was really ornery--which is NOT normal. He has been such a good baby. He doesn't cry unless you change his diaper. He hates to be cold! I finally took his temperature and sure enough it was 101. For a 10 day old baby that gets us a ticket to the ER. I ran out the door and arrived at the ER just after 6:00 last night. Finally at midnight we were admitted and upstairs. They are running all sorts of tests to find out what is going on and so far all of his counts have been okay. They are testing his urine, blood, and spinal fluid. Needless to say he has been a pin cushion the last 12 hours. Unfortunately the fever just won't budge and he is really uncomfortable. Any extra prayers would be appreciated. Most likely he just has a virus, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Thanks to everyone who is helping us out with kids and getting them around. Michael is off which is a HUGE relief so he is playing Mom and Dad and doing great. His stress of the morning was what to do with Haley's hair for school. I'm sure she looked great! He feels guilty not being at the hospital with me, but there isn't much he can do from here. At least I have Internet I can play with to stay busy.

I am so sorry Alleen! We have had a lot of scares in our neighborhood with kids being sick recently. It is not fun. I will remember you in my prayers. Your kindergartener is sooo cute!

I hope they figure out what's wrong with little Hayden. That is so scary. Our prayers are with you at this time. Sorry I haven't been able to help. I feel like the worst friend in the world. I'll call you tomorrow if were all feeling better.
