Doctors here tell us that they think he has leukemia
For two weeks now Joseph has been fighting off a viral infection and that was joined by a bacterial infection. Today after several doctor visits we were sent to the emergency department of the children’s hospital here in Belfast. Joseph’s heart rate was very high and he had a high fever as well as other issues. After many tests they began to tell us that he had abnormal blood counts and white blood cells.
Now they are seeking to stabilize Joseph and hope to do a bone marrow test tomorrow. that test would be definitive.
In life or in death we and our children at the Lord’s. We know the Lord loves Joseph.
We are however reeling from the huge implications for Joseph and our family.
We would ask that you pray for Joseph for the next 48 hours as we seek the Lord.
You may share this prayer request with anyone who will pray.
Love and prayers to you all!! Send another update, please! (I do understand how exhausting this can be) you have one seriously ill child, several at home, including a brand new baby! You have been chosen to go through this trial. God entrusted it to you. I know God will get the glory, and I believe many will come to Christ through your testimony! God bless and keep you!
Today I wish to let you that I walk beside you in prayerful support in your situation. I pray for your beautiful family as well as the wider family circle. May you feel Gods presence, healing and protection as you step out in faith daily, and are a powerful witness to those around you.
God Bless each and every one of you but especially Joseph at this time. Love Siobhan
