My son's name is Benjamin, he has run a fever for 7 days, my wife just called, they did a chest x-ray, he has a touch of pnumeonia they said, they gave him amoxicillian. I have had a very bad feeling about this ever since he got sick, he is 8 years old and just the greatest little boy.
Please lift him up to the Lord, I am just worried terribly now.
Thank you

Prayers to Jesus.
My prayers as well.
At the time my 4 year old son had an asmatha attack and was not initially responding to treatment. In a few hours he did, thank God!
Prayers up. If in doubt, get a different doctor ASAP.
I am praying for Benjamin.
Years ago our oldest son ran high temps for several days.
But it was normal for him to run very high temps for the least little thing.
The Dr. put him in Children’s Hospital, and after some tests we learned he had viral meningitis and encephalitis.
The temps began to subside after meds, but it was very scary for our family for several days.
Please don’t fear and trust the Lord Jesus.
Prayers UP!
You got it. Prayers up. Keep us posted.
Heaven Father please bless this little boy with health and strength and full recovery.
We’ll be praying for him and your entire family. Please keep us updated.
Lord, walk with this boy and family in their hour of need. We ask this in Your name...
We went trough some tough times several years ago with my son. Leukemia.
Freeper prayers were very comforting.
Dwell only on the good things from God. Chase away the bad thoughts with God's word.
Oh, I know how worried you and the family must be. Prayers on the way for Benjamin.

Our prayers are with you FRiend.
Prayers up for your son.
I’ll keep Benjamin in my prayers until we hear he’s out of the woods. Please keep us posted.
May God place his hands on Benjamin and help his body heal - and may He keep you in comfort as you go through this.
I will pray for Benjamin.
Prayer bump.
I had Pnemonia a few times, and I know it’s no picnic, but if he’s an otherwise healthy boy he should pull out of it just fine. I’m not a doctor, but I’m a bit sceptical about amoxicillan though, because it didn’t help me. I needed a stronger antibiotic, and then I got better within a few days. I believe the antibiotic was Levaquin.
When he gets better, look into a vaccine that’s available. I got it about 10 years ago and haven’t had Pneumonia since.
Good luck & prayers to you & yours.
