Prayer Request

Please keep Robbie's brother, Nathan, in your prayers. He's been in ICU at Grace Hospital since yesterday morning and will probably be there for several days. He is one of these stubborn men that refuse to go to a Dr. but he finally broke down and went because he was so bad. Now, he's on life support and being given steroids and anti-biotics in hopes to treat what they believe to be vasculitis in his lungs. I had to do some research on this but from what I have found out it stems from a infection caused by bacteria in most cases but can be linked to other diseases such as lupus, or could come from an allergic reaction to medication. Obviously this is hard to diagnose, so they are hoping what meds they have him on will start to work & he will improve soon. They have sent off blood & lab tests that will take several days to come back, so now it's a waiting game. We would really appreciate your prayers!
Robbie went by to see him this morning and decided to go ahead and go to his last drill in Greensboro. It was a tough decision for him but this is his last drill with the 30th and his paperwork for transfer back to Taylorsville was suppose to take place this weekend. Please keep him in your prayers too as he travels back & forth. He wanted to try to go and get done what he had to so he could come back but he knows his brother is in the Lord's hands and all we can do is pray.
I will try to update again soon.
