UPDATE!!! September 8th....
Justin’s in the hospital for the 5th time since Easter time. He’s becoming very discouraged, as are his parents. They just don’t know. He’ll have a colonoscopy and endoscopy I guess while there finally. I did tell my brother about probiotics, and they DID ask the doctors about that, but the doctors said that he hadn’t had antibiotics long enough to be affected by it.I told my brother to give them to him anyway. I hope I told him the right thing. It’s hard for them when the doctors tell them one thing, and others (like me) tell them another. I can understand his frustration for sure.
PLEASE PRAY for healing, for wisdom, for help for Justin. He is in so much pain, is being given morphine regularly for it, he’s only 11, and he’s now missing school in a brand new school (6th grade).  My brother said his hemoglobin is very low - 7.8, and if it gets below 7, he’ll have to have a transfusion. Oh my, I can’t even TELL you how much this is breaking my heart.
Thanks for your prayers.
Love,
Tracy
Hi all.........
Would you all continue to pray for my nephew, Justin? Since his pancreatitis a few months back, he has had so many problems. Justin is back in the hospital today for the 4th time! :-( My heart is breaking for him. His birthday was Friday, when he and his twin brother turned 11yo.
They're not sure exactly what it is. They have thought it was C-Dif, a bacterial infection, but then they thought it wasn't, now they say it might be again. They're doing more tests, because they just don't seem to know exactly what it is. Justin can't keep anything down, and is dehydrating. There are other more serious symptoms as well, and this is concerning me greatly. If you would please pray for Justin, we'd appreciate it very much. I spoke to my brother today, and he sounded very upset. He said he's very thankful for your prayers for Justin.
Also, as my brother and sister in law were entering the emergency room last night, my sister in law, Michele was coming out and bumped into them at the door with another of my nephews, Caleb. Caleb fell backwards off of a pool deck last night onto a cement driveway, and hit his head and back. They believe he has a concussion, and bruised ribs. If you could pray for his rapid healing, we'd appreciate that as well. May the Lord bless you all for your powerful prayers.
Thank you!
Love,
Tracy

*UPDATE*
Justin is still in the hospital. He's supposed to be there for a few days at least. They're still treating him for C-Dif (bacterial infection), but are doing many tests on him as well.
I'm told he's ornary (I'm sure I would be too by now), and frustrated, along with not feeling well. This young man has really been a great kid all through this. I'm sure he's growing weary. He's supposed to go to his new school's orientation tonight, and won't be there, so he's upset about that as well.
Thanks for your continued prayer.....I'll update when I know more. Caleb will be OK, but he's healing from his injuries.

Goodness, that's a lot for a young person - any person - to deal with! I'm praying for your relatives, Tracy.
Love,

*UPDATE*
Justin went home yesterday, but without knowing what’s wrong still, and still not feeling great. He’s feeling better than when he went into the hospital, but still not great. They’ve now ruled OUT C-Dif, which is what they were treating him for. All of the tests have come back negative, he’s been tested and re-tested for several of these (Chron’s, Colitis, Celiac Disease, Salmonella, E-Coli), so now he’s home, and will have a couple of outpatient procedures….a colonoscopy and an edoscopy. After that, they’re going to have them back to talk to them all at once about it. So we’re in a holding pattern. We’re just still trying to wait and see what’s wrong with him. They could still use your prayers for healing, for doctors to figure this out, and for peace….they’re pretty exhausted. I'll update again when I know more.
Thanks for your continued prayers!
