My 14 year old nephew could use some prayers. Received this text from my sister. His name is Matthew Talbot:
Good morning all!
Coming here to let you know what\'s going on with our family right now.... Matthew (14 y/o) was admitted to UTMB Galveston last night with an unknown infection. He has been running fever as high as 105, but most of the time below 103, having body shaking chills, and sleeping a lot since 4/21. They have taken him to urgent care 2x which was then referred to ER for follow-up blood work, all finding nothing. Yesterday, Matthew (not 14) took him to see his doctor and after a 45 minute visit where she took all info for the last week of symptoms, again sent him to the ER with instructions for increased testing for Kawasaki Disease, Lyme Disease, and typhoid among others. While in the ER, they performed an ecocardiogram, ekg, blood work, CT of his abdomen and a couple other tests that I can\'t remember. His blood pressure dropped at one point to 60/30. They transferred him to UTMB Galveston because of bed shortage and admitted him so they could give him a treatment of iv antibiotics. His blood pressure dropped again last night to 60/30 so they were busy most of the night and got very little sleep. Regina stayed with him last night. Please just add them to your prayer list.
