Prayer request for Zach

Good morning! Well we are off to the doctor for the third day in a row! Zach has a terrible cough and fever he just can not get rid of for about a week now, so thursday we went in and he was diagnose with pneumonia and given an antibiotic. Yesterday he just got worse so we were sent to Vanderbilt children's hospital for chest x-ray, there was nothing alarming we decided to watch him through the night keep his medicine going and treat the cough(via humidifier, steamy shower, cold air!) the usual. Well last night around 10 pm his fever spiked back up and he broke out in a rash all over his body so we are going back in, the twins birthday party is tomorrow and they are crushed at the thought of a reschedule so please pray he feels better and this is just an reaction to one of the meds and nothing contagious. I will keep ya posted, there is a slide show below of him at the hospital yesterday and a couple of when the rash first started.


UPDATE: Zach had a terrible allergic reaction to the antibiotic!! His pneumonia sounds worse so he is getting three breathing treatments a day and on a steroid!! we follow up monday with the doctor. Thank you for all your prayers.

poor baby boy. I am so sorry he is so sick. We are praying for a quick recovery and that he will be okay for his B-day party. Tell him I hope he gets to feeling better soon.
