Restless Night

Good morning friends! As a lot of you know, Billy started running a fever yesterday evening. I had taken AJ to Awana and left Billy to rest. He called me to tell me he started feeling bad so he took his temperature and it was 100.1. I went straight home to call the doctor. By the time I had gotten home Billy had taken some tylenol. When I called the resident on call, he said to let the tylenol wear off and see what the fever did then. If it reached 100.5, we needed to take him to Duke immediately. We kept a check on it through the night and it never got above 99.6. I know those of you who knew about the fever were praying fervently and now we can thank God for answering those prayers! I spoke to his doctor's nurse first thing this morning. She spoke to Dr. Walther and called back. He wants Billy to come in tomorrow for a chest x-ray and have his counts done again. He has had a cough since Friday so I guess they want to make sure he doesn't have something going on in his lungs that may have caused the fever. Thank you all so much for praying and we ask that you continue to lift Billy up to the great Physician. I will try to post updates as soon as I can. It is so touching to know that several of you had Billy on your mind first thing this morning. Thank you for calling, emailing and posting on Facebook so early this morning! We are so grateful to our Lord for surrounding us with such faithful prayer warriors!
