Back in the Hospital

This afternoon (Saturday) Anya was readmitted to the hospital with a cough and low-grade fever. After some initial tests the doctors are still trying to determine whether she has a virus that her body can fight off or a bacterial infection that will require antibiotics. As a precaution they have started her on antibiotics and will need to keep her at least 48 hours, perhaps longer if it is bacterial. Please pray that the problem would be viral and Anya would be released as soon as possible. She was improving so dramatically this week at home but truly hates being in the hospital. Please pray that her time there would be as short as possible and that Anna and I would have the strength to stay with her there again. I have been in Kansas City for a few days to gather some things and will be driving back to KC all day tomorrow (Sunday). Praise God for a wonderful visit here with our church family. We covet your prayers!
