PLEASE PRAY!

Hi all -
I have been meaning to post this for a week now and have not had good access to a computer. Timothy is in the hospital. Here is the very short version...last Friday he woke up and was not able to walk or sit up on his own. He was fine on Thursday night, running a low grade fever but nothing that would indicate something like this was going to happen. So we went to ER on Friday morning at our hospital and then on Monday we were sent to the children's hospital. The doctors have found that he has Sacroiliates(sp?) which is an infection in a joint near the tail and has spread to the tissue around and the hip bone. He also has a swollen elbow that he won't straighten but he does use his arm and doesn't complain. At first he cried when we moved him like he was in pain all over. That has come to a stop and he is making great progress in attempting to get around. He has gone from lying there like and infant to scooting and crawling(as best he can with an IV in one hand and a bad elbow on the other side) and he does sit on his own again. He tries to walk when we are fully supporting his weight and helping him but it is VERY clumsy and akward. So, the docs are very pleased with what they are seeing and feel he is respondig to treatment. They still are not sure the antibiotics are the answer because he was beginning to improve before they started treatment. Please pray that this is not going to be an ongoing issue and the God would heal our precious little man! If you have any questions or this doesn't make sense please email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Back to the hospital soon.
