Prayers requested for my Best Friend's Son!

A Little Background on my Best Friend Stacy's son TJ...

TJ spent yesterday in the doctors and hospital. They were afraid he had meningitis (sp), His glands are beyond swollen, stiff neck, fever, rash, the works! They are growing 2 blood cultures but they won't be ready till 1:30pm today. They sent him home.........9pm last night.. They rushed to the ER with a High fever that Advil was not touching, Shallow breathing, and extremely lethargic. They got admitted into the PICU, his Red Blood count was low and white count high. His blood pressure was very low. They quarantined him and Stacy and Eddie. They also did a spinal tap - it is NOT spinal meningitis. NOW, however, they are even more stumped as they do not know what it is. He was moved out of the PICU at 4am. TJ is now on a regular floor. He is getting high doses of antibiotics, and "sugar water" as he was very dehydrated. They have ordered a chest x-ray. At this time.. No signs of being released until they know exactly what he has. Please Pray for Lil' TJ. He sounds HORRIBLE! Also pray for Stacy and Eddie. Anyone who's child has been sick knows how badly these 2 are struggling.
They are at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, MO.

Thank you my Prayer Warriors!
Martha
