Welcome Home

Brett made it hope last night! He had not been outside for a week! That was hard on this little farm boy! He may go to school 1/2 days later this week! Brett has to take antibiotics 3 x a day for the next 2 weeks through his IV.

Welcome Home Brett! You have been so brave! We Love You!

Brett update #2

Brett had emergency surgery on Sat (3/28). It went well. He will hopefully go home Mon. He will have a stint put in and have to do antibiotics through it 3 x a day for two weeks. So he still has some rough weeks ahead, but we are glad he will be able to come home. He has been so brave and tough. He has not complained much! I of course had to spoil him. So I bought his Build-A-Bear scrubs.

Love you Brett!

Brett Update

Thank you all so much for the support, prayers and emails. Brett went by ambulance Wed p.m. to Children's Hospital in Omaha. He has a lump on his neck that continued to get bigger. It is an infection. His white blood cell count has gone down, but he did have another fever this p.m. They think he had strep throat, and it was not treated, so the infection stayed in his neck area. They are not sure if the infection needs to be drained or surgically removed. Right now they are treating it with medicine. The lump is so close to nerves, vocal cords, etc. that it may be too risky to remove. I talked to Brett this p.m. He was in good sprits and talkative. Keep him and his family in your prayers.
Thanks so much!

Prayers needed

I am asking for your prayers. My nephew, Brett, age 8 is in the hospital. They are not sure what is wrong, but feel he has Meningitis and they are trying to determine if it is bacterial or viral. He had a spinal tap done today and has been poked at a lot. I spoke with him tonight. It sounds like he has been brave, but tired of all the needles. Please pray for Brett and his parents. My heart just breaks for him.

Thanks so much!
