Prayers for Eli

Please pray for Eli. He has been quite sick since Saturday. For about two weeks, he has been complaining of stomach pain. We kept an eye on him to see if it would go away. We are hesitant to give him antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. When it lasted, we started antibiotics thinking he may have amoebas or parasites. The next day, he got a high fever and began vomiting. That lasted for three days. In addition, he had a runny nose. A few illnesses are going around and many kids are sick in our area. We think he got hit with a couple at once - a cold and stomach bug. Today, he was able to eat a tiny bit of food and keep it down. His appetite is non-existent and it's a battle to get him to eat or drink. It has been hard to see him like this. He got very dehydrated, was very lethargic, limp, glassy, dull eyes, dried lips and dark rings under his eyes. Although he started coughing today, we think the worst is behind us,. He had a little more energy today and hopefully will feel better tomorrow.
