Jacob is sick

Please pray for Jake, our second son. He's fighting some kind of illness, but we're not sure what it is. He has lost about fifteen pounds in the last week and a half. They think it is a virus, but it shouldn't have gone on this long. All his blood work is coming back normal and he doesn't have "normal" mono. They did a blood test today for two other strains of mono and we find out the results tomorrow.

He goes to an infectious disease specialist tomorrow. We're also waiting for an abdominal ultra sound. He's vomiting, no appetite, can't think clearly, fatigue. He did receive Nystatin for a yeast infection in his mouth. Apparently he's not supposed to take acidic items into his system and he's been downing Vitamin C by the loads. The pharmacist also told him to take acidophilus.

Hopefully we'll find something out tomorrow. Please pray for him! Thank you!
