Infection

They admitted us into Arnold Palmer yesterday like we expected they would. All sorts of tests have been run and staph infection and psuedomonas infection (which has a very bad odor) have been found. They attempted to put an IV in his head but were unsuccessful and since his skin is so fragile right now they were not able to put an IV in at all. The Dr. consulted with Dr. Lucky in Cincinnati and they feel comfortable giving him oral antibiotics and an ointment antibiotic that we apply with bandage changes.

Please pray that Jameson continues to eat. He is so lethargic and has very little appetite. We don't want to have a tube feeding him.

Also, please pray that Jameson doesn't have bacteria in his blood. The preliminary results show that he may. We will find out in 24 hours. If it is in his blood severe complications will result and they will have to surgically place a line (like an IV) to administer antibiotics.

The prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much. Thank you for praying so fervently for our baby Jameson.

Thank

I pray and hope he doesn't not have an infection in his blood.

Tube feeding isn't as bad as it sounds and it would give his body a chance to rest and heal. Dehydration can happen so quickly, it's so scary.

I pray tomorrow brings good news and i'll give you a call in the afternoon.

Hi Setsma Family,
Know that we are praying still everyday for Jameson and your family. So many are doing the same.
I can only imagine what you all are going through. I pray the Lord will give you strength for everyday. I know He will give you what you need when you need it (one day at a time, moment by moment). You all are such an encouragement to us. Tell Zachary and Nicholas we said hello.
Love The Sneads

Todd/Melisa - great news today that JT doesn't have a bacterial infection is his blood and will not need a tube placed for IV. That is truly an answer to prayer. Maybe this is the turn for the better we've all been praying for. Also, please know we're still praying and are happy that someone a whole lot bigger than us is in control. Love you all

Todd and Melisa,
Know that I am praying constantly. I saw Zachary and Nicholas today with the Calverts at church. They were just like normal. I have also been praying for them to be strong...and it seems like they are! I pray that God continues to give you strength and patience. You are such a special family and I know Jameson is in the perfect hands of Christ...and God certainly ordained some pretty great parents.

I will keep praying for Jameson! He's such a tough little guy and way too cute!!
