Prayers please

Zachary has an infection in his bloodstream again, this time more serious. Its been narrowed down to in the strep family but have to wait 48 hours until the culture is complete to know which strep it is and what antibiotic it is sensitive to. He has been on 2 very big gun antibiotics for 24 hours now, but his fevers have not started to trend down. The drs like to see a change in the right direction the 24 hour mark, but he has not. They added another antibiotic tonight so I hope that is the ticket and by tomorrow he will be showing an improvement. By tomorrow night we hope to know exactly what strep it is as well. He as done nothing but sleep since yesterday afternoon when this all started.

So...I'm asking for specific prayers for him.

Thanks for all the continued support and prayers and thank you in advance for adding Zach to your prayers tonight
