Morning Update

The doctor just came in to check on us. Benjamin had a pretty good night, but both of us are very tired this morning. His temperature is still a little high, but is controllable with Tylenol. The first round of tests have come back, and Benjamin has viral meningitis. This is NOT CONTAGIOUS. We are still waiting for more tests to come back to confirm the first test results. Our doctor said it's still unclear what long tern effects Benjamin may have, but since we caught it so early, he's not too worried, and Benjamin should have no long term problems. Hopefully we will be leaving the hospital tomorrow morning, but a lot will depend on the rest of the test results, as well as his temperature.

Thank you for your prayers!

Kierstyn,
We are praying for baby Benjamin!! How scary to have such a high fever so young! May the Lord restore his health quickly!! We sadly had to put our precious pup Macey down yesterday. She got cancer (but we didn't know) and went down very fast in 4 weeks. We miss her immensely. But we are trusting in God's sovereignty and grateful to have been her stewards for so long! She would have been 9 in September. Keep us posted on Benjamin! love, tanja & family

You are in our prayers. I had no idea this was going on until this morning - I am praying for you ALL to be on the mend and no more outbreaks of illness with the Krajca's! Love you all!
