PLEASE-need prayers!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Please everyone...... I need prayers for my nephew. My Sisters little boy, Colby, is in the hospital. He is beautiful and only 1 and won't be 2 until July. In his short life he been sick non-stop. He has been hospitalized previously twice for pneumonia, and has many ER visits lately for breathing problems and sinus infections. He has already been through 2 sets of ear tubes by the time he was 1 1/2! Chronic ear infections, sinus inf, and upper respiratory inf. It has gotten to the point that he has been on antibiotics for 6 months and he is still sick. I went w/ her the other day to All Children's hosp. so he could get a cat scan of his sinuses and they say that it looks like he has never been on an antibiotic and want him hospitalized for several weeks for IV treatments and testing to get to the root of the problem. He is being tested for Immune issues, etc. He has suffered daily since he was born - I see him several times weekly and have never seen him when he wasn't sick but he is so sweet and happy nonetheless. It breaks your heart. I mentioned the candida issue w/ her and they are putting him on oral Nystatin also. This morning they are doing a cystic fibrosis test which is very scary as she & I are both carriers (recently found out) and he has a lot of the symptoms - Please pray with me that it isn't positive as that would limit his life to approx 30 years, or less, which would be a terrible thing for a parent to look forward to. I am so worried for him. He is so adorable and good natured even tough I know he always feels bad - he probably doesn't know the difference as he has always been ill. Please pray w/ me that it is something they can cure and he can feel good for once.

love Shari
