Prayer

Well, I have waited a little while to post this as my heart has been heavy the past couple of days. Our family, especially my "baby boy"(as I call him)--Thomas is in need of prayer. I was a little hesitant to post something like this, as I feel that it is and private matter for our family to deal with. But, I also know that prayer in numbers is a very powerful thing. Our son Thomas found a lump in his groin earlier this week. He had not noticed it until the night before she showed us. We obviously got him into the dr. the day that he showed us. We didn't get to see our regular dr., which by the way we LOVE b/c she is so calm and is just great and very knowledgable. She is also from Nigeria so she is very familiar with children from Africa and everything that they can have. Well, we got x-rays, ultra sounds, blood work, etc in the last couple of days (during a major snow storm I might add LOL--but we got them done and God kept us safe on the roads). We were told today that they are giving him antibiotics for a week to see if the lymph node goes down, if it doesn't then we will have to get a biopsy done on Thomas. The dr. is looking at Cat Stratch Fever(yes it is a real disease not just a song:)). The ultra sound tech mentioned that too, since we have a young cat and he shows some signs. They are doing blood work for that but it won't be back for a week, so that is why she started on the antibiotic tonight, b/c we will probably know really before the results of the bloodwork come back. She said that we should see some improvement in the lump within a few days after taking the meds. If there is no improvement by next Wed. then we will have to get a biopsy. She just doesn't want to put Thomas through surgery if he doesn't have to. I just sincerely ask and really plead for your prayers for our Thomas and for us. You all know as parents and especially as a mother all kinds of things go through your mind. I know that I have to pray and let God handle this, He is the great physician and can heal all. Thank you each for your concerns and prayers in advance:)
