Please Pray for Drew

Our nephew Drew who is 9 months old is in ICU. He had a two hour seizure Wednesday night and wasn't running a fever. The doctors don't have any answers yet for Kari and Jordan (his parents). They have done an MRI and that came back normal. They will run several more tests today. He has been in a drug induced 'coma-state' and they are going to let him come out of it today and possibley remove his breathing tube. He has been restrained to keep his IV's, feeding tube, and breathing tube in place, therefore, they have not been able to hold him yet. Please pray for him and his family. My heart aches for them.

Unknown said...: My heart breaks for them. How terrifying. Little Drew will be in our prayers. I pray God gives the doctors wisdom beyond what text books say and above all else our amazing Savior removes this affliction from Drew completely with no lasting effects.; May 16, 2008 at 3:19 PM
