Sweet baby Joshua

Hello everyone! Amy from TonagelTeam here. I am writing to update everyone on sweet Joshua and his condition. He was admitted to the hospital last night after reaching a 101.4 degree temperature and throwing up several times after each feeding. Jeff and Tiffany called the doctor to seek further guidance. They were encouraged to bring him to the hospital to have further tests taken. When the family arrived, the nurse immediately called the pediatrician on call and urged her to come check out Josh immediately. She did so and after many tests, pokes, and prods, they concluded that Joshua has a severe case of RSV. This was bad news but also great news all at the same time. They were happy to rule out pneumonia and meningitis. He is severely dehydrated and hooked up to an IV to help regain his fluids. Joshua was a trooper through it all as they had to stick him 6 times to get an IV started AND survived the spinal tap. He slept through it all (as this was an indication of the severity of his condition). Please pray that Joshua is made better soon. Whether God chooses to heal him immediately or heal him through medical intervention, Jeff and Tiffany continue to seek Him and praise Him through this storm. Also, please pray for these wonderful parents as they face these challenges and the couple of rough days ahead. They will remain in the hospital a minimum of 48 hours, but could be there up to a week. Your prayers, thoughts, and encouragement are greatly appreciated for this awesome family!
