2 weeks ago David Jace broke his arm, ever since that happened he became covered in a rash. We took him to the pediatrician, he tested positive for strep so the rash seemed to be from that. Fast forward a few days *He’s a rough kid, he falls a lot, he’s definitely all boy BUT he started bruising so easily and they would become so dark. I knew something wasn’t right. I done the antibiotics for 10 days like they said and tried to be patience. Well yesterday I woke up and knew something just wasn’t right and I couldn’t wait anymore. We went to Sharon Scuggs, she’s always listened, and she took one look at him and said I was right something was wrong. We went straight to the er in Magee, after blood was drawn they moved us into a private room. My heart hit the floor, the first words I heard was it could possibly be leukemia. So we were transported by ambulance to the Children’s Hospital in Jackson. When we arrived I still had a happy little boy, a little fussy but he had already been through so much. After a few hours of more pokes, ct, x rays, and everything else, I noticed the left side of his face seemed to be drooping. When he talked that side wouldn’t move and he was drooling. I called a nurse, rushed to ct again, and he had a brain bleed. Basically I watched my not even 23 month old have a stroke. We are finally in a room, getting blood transfusions which seem to be helping slowly, ct every few hours to keep a check on the bleed, and he’s sleeping as much as possible considering everything going on. I’ve slept maybe 30 minutes since yesterday morning. I still can’t believe this is happening. I’ve said all that to say two things

ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR MAMA FEELING!

It’s in Gods Hands. I’m praying harder than I have ever prayed in my life. That’s all I can ask from anyone. Just pray for Jace, for us, for Delaney who doesn’t understand what’s going on and where we are. I know we serve a mighty God and he pulls off miracles everyday, well we are in need of one.

*I don’t have a for sure diagnosis yet, we are waiting to see what happens with the bleed before we move onto what’s causing everything else. I just need all the prayers we can get.
