Tests Normal but Still Sick!
Good morning everyone, So sorry this update has taken so long, Fletcher has had a very hard week. He is very sick, but through all of this we have good news and bad news. The good news being the two test the doctors did, the bronchoscopy and the pH test came back normal, the bad news, what is the underlying problem, why does he keep getting pneumonia? We don't know, the doctors don't know. The PICU doctor, Dr. Khichi, is researching and doing test, he looked up recurrent pneumonia in children on the net and recurrent pneumonia is 2 times in your lifetime, Fletcher has now had it 4 times in 4 months! Please pray for the doctors to have wisdom and discernment on how to treat Fletcher. It looks like the next step for our sweet boy is a tracheotomy, as much as we don't want that for him, we do want God's will for Fletcher. Please pray for Craig and I to have wisdom and discernment in the decisions we have to make concerning Fletcher, they are BIG, and we need the Lord to show us what to do and give us the courage and confidence to follow through and do the right thing. Please continue to pray for our girls this is hard on them too. Thank you again for continual lifting our family up to the Lord. There is NO WAY we could do what we're doing with Him, He is sustaining us. Much love, Craig and Denise Denise Burns http://www.type40.com/family
