Please pray for Jesse

Prayers please! This time they are mostly needed for Jesse. We took him to the pediatrician this morning after about 5 days of having a cold/cough. He was actually doing better but thank God the pediatrician said to bring him in anyway. He has a double ear infection and his oxygen levels were so low, we almost had to go to the Children’s Hospital by ambulance! They thought it could be pneumonia and haven’t ruled that out yet, but are thinking its asthma. We were at the ER for about 6 hours and they couldn’t get him breathing well enough so tonight he is in the ICU. I’m so thankful that this is all so very new to Jesse; this is his first time back to the hospital since he left as a 3 month old -5 ½ pound baby. Although it is super hard on him and he doesn’t get why he has to have ‘strings on his wittle hand’(IV), the pulse oxymiter is driving him crazy and he insists that he feels better and wants to be all done… all I can think about is how awesome it is that he hadn’t had to go through this before, and I know that this could have been a normal thing for him but it’s not.
Also please keep Levi in your prayers. Yesterday he started acting a little sick, he too has an ear infection and a cold. If what Jesse has is viral, it’s very contagious and Levi has been around him all along. He is coughing pretty badly tonight.
Thank you all so much for praying!
