In need of prayer...

One of Kevin's new best friends is in the hospital. He is the boy seated next to Kevin in the picture. He has sickle cell anemia and was hospitalized a couple of weeks ago for pain associated with his condition. This time he is in with a high fever - possibly H1N1 related and his sickle cell anemia just complicates things.

I am generally not into the high-panic breeded by the media frenzy, but knowing that Chris already has a depressed immune system, it is cause for great concern. So we ask for prayer.

From our church prayer list:
Please pray for Chris. He is in isolation with a high fever at Children's Hospital. It is most likely H1N1 and his immunity is compromised because of his sickle cell anemia. Pray for protection for him and healing, and peace for Isabelle and Joseph and the family.

UPDATE: Chris is doing much better. He had a non-H1N1 strain of the flu and has come through. He was to be released from the hospital on Monday. Thank you for your prayers.
