Please Pray

As time allows, I promise to update you on our Holiday weekend, and to get back to our regularly-scheduled mediocre content. But right now I want to ask you for your prayers:

This morning, Mathias was admitted to the hospital with Pneumonia. He was up much of the night crying and wheezing, so finally around 12am (after waiting for a call for 2 hours from the On Call doctor that never came) we decided that Seth should take him into the ER.

His O2 saturation levels are at around 80% on their own. Right now he's receiving oxygen through his nose, and they plan to keep him here until his O2 levels stay at 100% on their own for 24 hours.

Please pray that this happens sooner rather than later, and that our busy 20 month old can get on with his little life. I imagine he's not going to be very content to just sit in a crib (jail cell) for the next day or two.

Thanks for your prayers, and we'll keep you updated.
For now, here's a photo of the little guy:

Kinda brings back memories from about 20 months ago:
