It started with a fever a couple days ago. Friday night little Zachary and I were up 1/2 the night. Fever. Crying. I knew what it was - ear infection. After the long night I was very eager to get to the doctor Saturday morning for antibiotics. What I wasn't expecting was the loss of weight for the little man as well as leaving the doctor's office with orders for 7 blood tests. I mentioned a concern we'd noticed with Zachary and between the fact that Zachary has been stuck at 15 lbs. for the past 3 months and combine that with my other question, the doctor was very eager to run some tests on Zachary. So - back to the hospital lab for us tomorrow. This was a different pediatrician than we normally see, as only one of the docs is on call on Saturdays. But maybe that's good. A new mind thinking about what could be wrong. He was very eager to think about what could be the problem. I'm getting tired and weary. I know this journey is just beginning as Zachary is only 18 months. But I am just ready for answers. Will you pray with me for Zachary? Will you share and ask others to pray?
Pray for a diagnosis.
Pray for weight gain.
Pray for muscle strength.
Pray for sitting, crawling, walking.
I will certainly be praying for the little guy as well as comfort for you as you go through this mama! God bless you.
