This evening, we left home on our way to the ER with Jacob. Barb and I used a stethoscope to listen to Jacob’s lungs, and what we heard was truly alarming. Jacob was in tears, overwhelmed with anxiety. Even at the hospital, his heart rate stayed between 145 and 150 BPM. Despite our best efforts, his labored breathing and the secretions wouldn’t ease.
During the drive, we called our pastors and close friends, asking them to join us in prayer. In the van, we prayed together as a family, surrendering the entire situation to God and setting aside our own understanding. As always, God went before us, preparing the way to ease Jacob’s suffering and renew our hope. When we reached the hospital, the doctor couldn’t hear any issues in Jacob’s lungs. The x-ray revealed only a minor infection—easily treatable with a short round of antibiotics, Levofloxacin.
