Pray for Little P again please

I'm in a little daze right now. Parker was diagnosed with the croup on Saturday. That's not a huge deal. He gets it a few times a year. He seemed to be getting better until last night. He woke up with a different cough around 1am and didn't stop coughing. Literally, didn't stop. This morning around 10am he had a 103.6 fever. So, I took him back to the doctor.

The doctor immediately told me that he needed to run more tests on him, and that he was going to send us to the hospital because he suspected pneumonia. We got to the hospital around noon. The people at the hospital greeted us with a mask for Parker to wear. (Of course, I wore one too so that he would feel okay about it.) We were moved to a different waiting area where we waited for....3 hours! Luckily during hour #2 Parker passed out on my and slept until we were shown a room.

Things were a little strange once we got to a room. I was told that neither of us could leave the room. Then the doctor came in to evaluate Parker and I looked on his shirt at it said, "FEMA: Federal Emergency Medical Assistant." They started asking me all these questions about vaccines, where we've been lately, etc.

Anyways, LOOONG story short. After many hours in the hospital we are home. They are not exactly sure what Parker has, but they think that it is pertussis: whooping cough. It's highly contagious and he's pretty sick. The good news is that we caught it early. Antibiotics should clear it in a few days. The bad news is that he's really sick, and it's very dangerous for babies, like Abigail. So, pray for Parker to heal quickly. Pray for Abigail to stay healthy, and for my mom as she takes Abigail tomorrow for a couple days to keep her out of the germs in our house.

I'm refusing to believe that the way things have been at our house the last month are "normal". So, please pray for normalcy to return to our house. Thanks!
