Prayer For Braden

Please pray for Braden. The poor boy has been so sick. He went to Children's where they took a blood sample. His white blood cell count is low. Now dangerously low but still low. Because he had a fever and broke out with tiny purple spots, they are hoping the low level is because of infection or bacteria. So they gave him and antibiotic through his IV then sent him home. He was so lethargic.

Today he went to his regular pediatrician. He's feeling a little better but they still had to give him the rest of the antibiotics. It was very painful as they had to use two syringes and push the fluid in slowly. Later he was so sore he could hardly walk and he cried and cried. Tomorrow his doctor is supposed to call me with the final results of his blood culture. Then after he is better I have to take him back to Children's for some more blood tests. They want to see what his blood cell level is when he's well and also to test him for celiac disease. 

He seems so miserable and there's not much I do for him. He's such a sweetie and I feel so bad that he can't tell me what's wrong. Hopefully these tests will give us some answers.
