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!
