Prayer Request for my son

[Jackofalltrades]

My 7 year old has been sick since Wednesday and has been hospitalized since Monday. Doctors still don't know what's wrong after numerous labs and an abdominal CT. They believe at this point that it's something viral but he was admitted with severe dehydration and early stage renal failure. He's running a fever on and off but his labs are trending in the right direction. 

I'm very proud of him as he's autistic with sensory processing issues and he has been very compliant with the staff, even during the CT which we thought would cause a complete meltdown. 

So, prayers for strength and healing or just positive energy and thoughts are more appreciated than you can know. I'll update as I know more.

Anytime my kids  even a little sick it scares me.  Can't imagine what you are going through with this.  Thankfully it sounds like he is getting better.

 

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.  Only advice I can give is for you to try and get some rest.  Might seem selfish but I don't think so.  Helps you reset and be in a better position for everyone involved.

Must be scary but I'll pray forsure! I hope things work out for the best.

Thank you all. He's slowing trending in right direction but they still don't know what's going on. Right now they think it's some rare viral infection and are continuing to draw and process labs. Looks like he'll be there through the weekend. We have been told my 1 year old isn't at risk at this point, which is huge because he has Mast Cell Disorder, so we have to be very careful and proactive with him. 

Thanks again for the support.

Any chance he was bitten by a tick etc ?

Not really, he's a homebody and spends most time indoors despite our efforts. I know they can still make contact but it's unlikely. We know the culprit now.

We finally have a diagnosis, severe Mono. They say it can hang around for as long as 6 weeks. Right now the plan is to get him eating and drinking more without puking and we'll take him home to continue resting. 

Hes bummed he'll miss the rest of baseball season and he's really bored. We are happy we know what's going on now so we can stop denying we're constantly thinking about the worst case scenario. 

Thanks again for your prayers and support.
