Kevin, one love, just called me and is asking for everyone to pray. his 1 yr. old son is in ICU. The docs are putting him to sleep so they can figure out what is wrong with him. He has swelling in the face and a fever. It is unclear what exactly is going on. Please pray for this need.

I appreciate your prayers, I also appreciate Danny and Wendy posting this request on other forums as well. Earlier Matthew had got a hold of a coat hanger and had it in his mouth Danielle got the hanger out of his mouth and it cut it slighty. He was fine and playing as normal. A hour and a half later his left side of his face and under his jaw and neck swelled up like a baseball on the side of his face.
We rushed him to the emergency room and they looked at him and called the childrens hospital of kings daughter (in my area there are 10 plus hospitals within 20 miles of each other) kings daughters is a special hospital for babies and kids for serious things, from cancer to unknown situations. They would not let us take him there nor would the let a regular ambulance do it either, so they had a ambulance from CHKD in norfolk come to one of the hospitals in Va beach where we were and pick him up, they let us know this ambulance is basically and ICU on wheels and they can do anything they would need to, this made us much more nervous. They were afraid his throat would swell shut during the ride because the swelling was getting worse by the minute. I felt there was something I was not being told. After we got to CHKD which is only 15 miles away in downtown norfolk they started some test and let me know that they usually do not sedate babies but felt that he needed to be sedated so they could do cat scans with the dye and other test becasue he was in so much pain he would not allow them to touch his face, his fever out of no where was about 103.
WHen they sedated him i was told by the specialist that if it was a blood vessel bleeding in his jaw that they could start draining the blood (hematoma) and it should be ok, yet ( and this is what I think they did not want to tell me at first) if it was a vessel in his neck that it would be very serious and this is the reason they are willing to sedate him, if this was the case they would need to act immediately. My son was not coherent really at all before that test, I was terrified. I called for prayer, my overseer called the pastors in our region and I asked Brother Danny to post prayer request.
WHen I got off the phone from asking for prayer, he was done with the test , within 30 minutes his swelling started going down, his fever started to drop, and he started to be more coherent. They had the wiggles playing in the room on the tv and all of a sudden Matthew started to clap his hands and was starting to really show an improvement. Understand before i made those calls he was screaming and then just not responding really at all. The Lord touched him and I am so grateful. There are no damage to any blood vesels and it had nothing to do with the hanger. They really dont know what caused this whether an infection or somehting else, they gave him antibiotics for thirty minutes and watched him rapidly doing better with no reason except prayer. I have to have him seen by his doctor tomorrow and watch him through the night to make sure the swelling does not get worse. He started drinking juice own his own so they took out the I.V., remember 30 mins. before that he would scream and cry if you touched his face which looked as if a baseball was hanging on him. God is so good. We are now home and the swelling is going down more. Thankyou Danny and wendy for posting this request, also thanks to all who prayed from the moment I called my overseer and he called the pastors and then your prayers God touched him, I am so grateful.
They had me believe there was a chance he would be going to surgery tonight, God is so good. Thank you again everyone, I am a tough guy but so weak when it is my children, I have never felt so helpless. What would we do without God!!!!

Again thank you all for you prayers
