Prayers for our Baby boy Please...

I know that we have been once again lacking in the updates here in the blog world! I would love to take the time to upload new pictures and tell the funny stories of our now walking (while holding on to things) precious baby, but they will have to wait. Britton has had an ear infection and staph infection for about 6 days now and a temperature that he could not get rid of for three days ow. When I called the Children's Hospital they told us there was no need to bring him in to be seen unless he temperature was at 105. We did anyways! It turns out that though Britton appears to be fine as he is laughing, playing, and being very mobile he is one sick little boy. His white blood cell count is way too high showing signs of a bacterial infection, perhaps mono. I have no idea how an infant gets mono, and hope that is not what it turns out to be. Rhonda, Kyle's mom, took Britton to Dr. Chamber's office today and he was given a shot. It was actually three different shots that had to be injected into his muscle. We have an appointment tomorrow to see if the shots are working if not they will have to draw blood to see more detailed results. If they are not showing improvement then he will need to be hospitalized, which is a huge concern to me. I don't want to even imagine my poor little boy in the hospital for a long stay. Kyle and I would like to ask for your prayers for Britton. Prayers that he gets well soon and that this shot does work. Prayers that God is in control and can comfort our baby. We will keep you all updated on his status and hope this is just a bump in the road for Britton and passes quickly.
