Praying for Will

Tommy's oldest and best friend Will is sick, very sick.  Please pray for him.  Will lives across the street and they have been the best of friends since Kindergarten.  

 He has been in the hospital since Monday with terrible headaches and nausea.  Tommy and I visited him yesterday and he was very out of it.  But he did look at Tommy and sort of nod.  He took a turn for the worse in the night, they had been treating for Migraines since tuesday and it wasn't working.  He had a seizure and was very confused and struggling with vision changes.  They Air Flighted him to mayo this afternoon.   They had ruled out bacterial meningitis but now are wondering if it could possibly be viral meningitis.  Also when Will was 4 he had a cyst on his brain, they drained it with a shunt that is still in his head.  Possibly that is infected as well.  Regardless he is a very sick boy.  And I have a VERY concerned boy at our house.  Who wants to pack it up and head to Mayo tomorrow.  Which we are not...but nonetheless he is worried beyond worried.  

I pulled up a few quick pictures from the years....
these 2 have shared so much and get along so well.  Will is often over here after school, they have played many teams together and that was by far the hardest part of Tommy leaving Waukee schools in 5th grade but their friendship has remained.  

In the meantime would you seriously get on your knees and PRAY that the Dr's figure something out and FAST!  Pray for fast healing and for Will's family too.  They are a very close bunch and covet your prayers.







As God would have it I have my annual appointment at Mayo with my neurologist on Wednesday, so Tommy is planning on going with me at this point.  I am going to assume Drew will want to tag along to see Will too.
