My nephew Christopher, age 4, in Michigan is very ill. He has been dehydrated and vomiting, and now they suspect a bowel obstruction. He is on his way by helo to Grand Rapids (from their home in Grayling) and my brother and his wife are driving down (about a 2 hour trip, bet they make it in considerably less.)

Please pray for safe travel, and for the skill of the doctors to determine the correct course of treatment! God Bless the helicopter pilot and personnel, and the healthcare workers taking care of Chris!

God Bless Chris and make him well.

Our thoughts and prayers go out for little Christopher for a complete and speedy recovery.

As a father of three kids (5, 3, and 15 weeks) I can only imagine what you and your family are going through. My littlest one has some health issues (nothing this critical) and I know what a drain it can be on the family.

Lord watch over Chris and his family. Hold them in your arms and give comfort and strength to them.

Update.....Christopher is eating jello and Sprite. Ed (our brother, father of Christopher) says when he makes his first million he's going to invent French Toast Flavored Jello because that's what the kid wants. He sounds tired but Chris is doing OK and that's all the matters. They have a wonderful place to stay there, stocked kitchen and place to sleep. Chris is out of ICU and NG tube is out.

Our sister, just back from Cancun, Mexico (home of MOntezuma's Revenge and people who don't wash their hands after going potty, apparently) is still having severe diarrhea and on prescription anti nausea stuff, plus Cipro. Her son is fine. They are home now. She says she will never go south again! Also, there is a babe who works as a clerk in a Days Inn in New Orleans who is lucky to be alive.....very long story. If you have a chance, DON't stay at the Days Inn in New Orleans.

It's wonderful to hear that Christopher is eating and drinking Jello and Sprite. His parents made it to his hospital safely, and have a great place to stay, praise God forevermore. I'd bet that little one will be bouncing off his hospital room walls very shortly. :) Thanks for the great update, and let's all remember to be thankful to God.

Prayers going out for little Chris and all of your family. Hate hearing of a child so sick. Keep us informed please.

[Mrs. P]

He certainly sounded on the phone as if he's bouncing off the walls when I was talking to my brother. He wouldn't talk to Auntie Lulu (me) on the phone, he just wanted French Toast.

I wish there were a quick and dirty way of responding to everyone who has posted here, other than sitting and writing down all the screen names and typing them in. Thank you all! I hope everyone checks back on this thread for the updates.

Been praying for the Christopher. How is he doing? I believe he will overcome.
