Prayer Needed!
UPDATE: Chris went to the clinic where the doctor thinks it was a combination of injesting river water (nausea), dehyration, sinus drainage (sore throat and nausea) but I’m still thinking there’s a chance of strep since Grace had it 2 weeks ago, so we’ll probably take him into our doctor tomorrow. Right now he’s sacked out in his own bed, and happy to have his puppy right by his side. Thanks for the prayers!
Jedi’s happy too. He slept on Chris’ bed every night while he was gone.
*****************
In case there’s someone reading now, I thought I might ask for a little prayer. Chris is at camp 1 1/2 hours away with an 102 fever, and other symptoms.
Okay, now that you’ve prayed. Here’s the story.
Chris and Joey have been at camp all week and today we get a call from the nurse that Chris has 102 fever, headache, abdominal pains, sore throat, etc.
She thinks my husband needs to come and pick him up 1 1/2 hours away and take him to the doctor.
Okay, now the hypocondriact mom in me goes searching on the internet for symptoms to West Nile virus and an life threatening/fatal ameoba disease. Chris has some of the symptoms of both.
Now I know this is not really the case, but it seems quite odd at the timing of this sickness especially since I’ve been reading a book on how to pray protection over your children (which I have been doing all week, several times a day.)
It’s just hard to know what to do. Take him to the hospital for blood work, or to a clinic where there is no blood work readily available, take him home 1 1/2 away?
I call the camp and ask them to have Chris call me back, which he eventually does and says he’s fine. Just a little sore throat and he wants to stay until tomorrow. Sure, he feels fine now that he’s dosed up on Motrin.
My husband’s probably there as we speak, thankfully he was thirty minutes closer Teeing off on the golf course (not so thankful to be interrupted!)
He leans toward not worrying and doesn’t want the expense of an ER visit. I tend to play it safe. Do what it takes to know that Chris will be fine, no matter the cost.
If you’re still reading, please pray for healing, and wisdom for him to know what to do!
