back at the hospital

yuck. we have set up camp at northeast baptist hospital. i didnt see this one coming.
justin woke up monday morning with 102 fever & feeling AWFUL. dr. f got him in and was pretty upset to hear justins symptoms. with all the medications justin is on there is NO reason that he should have fever. he just finished a round of antibiotics on friday. dr f said that if his body was already to a point of fever...then the infection was already pretty bad. with justins immune system...ANYTHING is bad. his body is already attacking itself...he doesnt need any infection to interfere with the problems that are already there.
so...dr f admitted him so that he could begin testing immediately. he got a chest xray when he first came in and then went down for a mri on his brain. the only results we have so far is that he has pneumonia. he is aspirating and it is causing fluid to pile up in his lungs. he is down now for a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and another ct scan on his chest. please join us in praying for only negative tests from here on out. he has started another round of antibiotics and is still feeling awful. when he went down this morning he had 101.5 fever and his pain is very high.
our babies are all tucked away in fun and exciting places. they are being loved on big time!! bryce got to spend the night with chris and brit and is at sports camp today, brody is with the davis crew and the lesters have little braxteroo. we were so blessed last night to have some amazing supporters. thank you so much marci, shayne, melissa and mindy for loving on us! our gifts and blessings from the Lord are NEVER ending! shout out to the crazies up at chi rho who are praying for jmac!! we love you guys so much!!
so more info to come i suppose.


Lyrics that are getting me through this day!!
Matthew West - Strong Enough
go listen to it...now

You must
You must think I'm strong
To give me what I'm going through

Well, forgive me
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own

I know I'm not strong enough to be
everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
For the both of us

Well, maybe
Maybe that's the point
To reach the point of giving up

Cause when I'm finally
Finally at rock bottom
Well, that's when I start looking up
And reaching out

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough

Strong enough

Cause I'm broken
Down to nothing
But I'm still holding on to the one thing
You are God
and you are strong
When I am weak

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

Oh, yeah

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
Strong enough
