Please pray for Danny, our two year old. Joe took him to the doctor
this morning because he had severe diarrhea, vomiting and a slight
fever. Danny puked all the way to the doctor's office. Joe gave him a
plastic bag to puke in, but Danny threw the bag out the window.
The doctor admitted Danny and said that he wants him to be on an IV for
at least two days.
Joe said that the doctor just came in a little bit ago. He said that
Danny has a severe bacterial infection. He said that Danny's white
blood cell count is high, and his red blood cell count is low. He is
dehydrated after severe diarrhea and vomiting this morning. He had lost
about four pounds. He has an IV in his arm with fluids and antibiotics.

They wrapped his arm with an ace bandage to help keep the IV in place.
Danny is concerned because his thumb is sticking out; he told me about
it on the phone.
Gilbert, Bonnie, and I were with Lenell. She brought us home so that we
could get some things ready to send up to Joe. Dan took them up to the
hospital for us.
Lenell will take me up to the hospital in the morning while Margie keeps
Gilbert and Bonnie.
Please pray for Danny's speedy recovery.
