We took Jack's brother to the doctors this morning. He was still very ill. He tested positive for the flu. Even though Jack has had a flu shot they were still concerned. They prescribed a medication in hopes of preventing Jack from getting the flu. The issue is he was taken off all meds due to the biopsy. They wrote me a script and told me to call the Cleveland Clinic and speak to the surgeon. (mind you it is Saturday) To make a long story short I finally got a answer. They said there is a chance with the medication for the flu that it could cause the muscle to be inflamed and mess up the biopsy. The chance of that is on the low end , but could happen. If Jack gets the flu the hole procedure is off. They feel we should give him the medication in hopes of it preventing him from getting sick and go through with the biopsy. That is what we are doing. Jack did have a flu shot, but that doesn't mean he cant get the flu. The doctors did tell me he needed a flu shot. They never told me that every member in the house should also. I thought as long as he had one that would be fine. They told me today all of us should have one (especially Jacks brother) so we don't spread the flu if we were to get it,to Jack. I feel a bit as it was my fault. I should have known, I have been so on top of things. Why didnt I think of that?
Anyway- All we can think is to pray. PLEASE pray that one, Jack doesn't get the flu. He is just starting the meds today and has already been exposed. We are keeping him away from his brother but who knows. PLEASE also pray that the medication doesn't inflame the muscle and mess up the biopsy. PLEASE pray we get answers from the biopsy and that we don't have to do it again. PLEASE keep Noah (Jack's brother) in your prayers also. We pray the rest of us don't get it and we end up in Cleveland well and on time with know issues or problems.
All we can do is pray and turn to others for there prayers and support. We believe in faith God is in total control and we will have quite the testimony someday.
