Quick turnarounds

For most, you've already heard today was not a good day. Been a while since we've seen one this struggling. Started out with Dad letting me know that Justin had a bad night with fever getting up to 104, even with fever he was resistant to being in bed and more so to doctor's advice.

Dad is not feeling so well himself and there are so many other things going on that it can take its toll on the most faithful.

What I know is, Justin managed to reduce fever down around 101.3 only with help of Tylenol. As the tylenol would wear off, the fever would return. Blood & urine samples came back negative so they took more when the fever was back up and hope to find out what is causing this. He didn't want IV treatment and was drinking plenty of fluids just not eating much. Dad said he didn't want to be confined to bed and based on the first 6 days, it's understandable that things make us cautious.

Earlier report said he finally consented to IV treatment and they were going to put him on cooling blankets because he spiked back up to 104.6--last report from Dad said he was down to 103.5 and he felt comfortable enough to head back to the hotel to rest himself.

PRAY...........all I know to ask for!!!

7 days into this and I feel like we are back in Dothan fearing for the unknown. PRAY!!!

We hope to have another update tomorrow that will see him feeling better.

We appreciate you all for so many things we can never express or repay. Love you all!!!
