Dear God, please help the doctors taking care of Nicholas determine a correct diagnosis and begin a course of treatment. Please watch over Stacy, Robert, Mackenzie and Nicholas and keep them in your loving care. Give Stacy strength to take care of her sick little boy, and please heal Nicholas. Amen.
Thanks for praying with me. Nicholas is 2 years old and the sweetest little boy you've ever seen. He has a winsome smile and "pinchable" cheeks. He is suffering from an unknown ailment. He is being attended by specialists from all fields of medicine at Duke, and has undergone so many tests in his young life that every time they get into the car he shakes his head in protest and says, "no doctor!"
They can't figure out what's causing his illness. He's recently taken a turn for the worse, being nearly unable to eat or move about much. Even the top medical professionals are stumped by his unusual symptoms: extremely low iron, off the charts high B12, achy legs, eye problems (strabismus) and surgery, lethargy, out of breath, no appetite, etc. They've started to test for rarer diseases because they've eliminated the more known varieties. Everyone involved is desperate for a diagnosis.
Thanks for caring about this cute little boy. I will keep you posted.
