Prayers Needed

There is a problem with Caden's breathing. He has had a very high fever for over a week now. He is not eating and drinking. He has severe diarrhea and is still throwing up. He had an x-ray last night of his lungs and it looked pretty good. However this morning he was having a hard time breathing and he had to be put on oxygen. He will be going in this afternoon for a procedure. They will insert a tube into his lungs and then squirt saline solution into them and take a sample of the fluid. There is always a risk when anyone goes under anesthesia, but Caden is at an increased risk for bleeding and infection because his counts are so low. They think he may have an infection in his lungs, possibly PCP pneumonia. Please think of Caden this afternoon and if inclined say a prayer for him. We need it. Thanks.
