Calling All Prayer Warriors

Chuck's cousin, Kristi, has placed this prayer request on her blog and we wanted to share it here. Kristi and her family have been wonderful in supporting us during this time with Scott and we are so grateful and thankful for them.

We know that there is no such thing as too much prayer. So, please be lifting this precious boy, Kaleb and his family up to the Lord.

Prayer Request for Kaleb
Kaleb had his appointment today and they said he has a staph infection around his gtube/button. We are culturing it to see if we need to change the medicine they started him on orally tonight (Bactrim). There is also a pus pustule under the skin which is causing hardness of the tissue and pain for Kaleb. We are applying a topical ointment that is an antibiotic 4 times a day as well as the oral antibiotic. Please pray that his body responds to both of these medications and his pain and infection go away. If he does not respond we might have to go to IV's sometime in the near future. Please pray for the following things:

-That the pain goes away very fast-That the infection does not spread to surrounding tissue, deeper into his tissue or into his bloodstream

-That he responds to the oral antibiotics so we do not need IV's

-That he does not lose weight as we cannot use the button for feeding right now because we have to stabilize it to reduce movement and friction

-That his lung culture comes back clean-That the wound culture shows he is on the right antibiotics-Dr. Carey and his wisdom in treating Kaleb

-For Dr. Carey to find another doctor in the near future that will join his practice with the same values and treatment style to lighten Dr. Carey's load!I am leaving tomorrow until Saturday for my last volleyball trip for this season.

Please pray nothing goes on while I am gone with Kaleb and for Dave while I am gone. He is the best Daddy and husband ever!! I will let you know when we know anything and how our Tri State tournament goes this weekend!!Thanks for your prayers and support, we couldn't do it without all of you!

Trusting God is in control....
