Prayers Needed
Our family is need of your prayers once again. Our 9-month old granddaughter, Addy (Amber's daughter), was rushed to the emergency room about 3 a.m. this morning. Her body was rigid, neck movement was extremely painful and she was unable to sit up.
It has been a long and frightening night with xrays, blood tests, CT scans and other attempts to diagnose her problem. They have been trying to rule out neurological problems and have determined her symptoms to be caused by a bad infection in the bone behind her ear (mastoiditis). The infection has apparently traveled down into her neck and throat which is what is causing her such pain. Her inability to control her muscles, they believe, is her reaction to the great pain she is in.
They are still waiting on a specialist to come tell them what their course of treatment will be. More than likely, they will keep her in the hospital for a couple of days and force a hefty dose of antibiotics through her IV.
We are very thankful for the quick response of the medical team in South Carolina and for their quick diagnosis. Of course, we are also extremely grateful that her problem, though serious, is not as life threatening as it initially appeared.
Please pray for her quick recovery ... and for Amber/Joel as they care for her and their other little ones.
As always, your prayers are so appreciated.

Your family is always in our prayers but even more diligently when any of them are sick. I know she is in the best hands possible and will be running around wildly again soon. Love you all, Teresa.
