Prayers needed....

Okay guys, for those of you who are the praying type...please say a little prayer.
A little while ago, my three year old comes down stairs, and says "Mommy, Phoenix looks like he died". Ken and I ran upstairs as fast as we could in a near heart attack, and he was laying on his bed, lips purple, his face was this pasty looking color, and breathing really shallow, and his hands and feet were freezing cold. We immediately woke him up, and he started to get sick, and fell right back asleep. The doctor said if he doesn't perk up within an hour, to bring him to the hospital. It's been about a half an hour, and the anxiety is through the roof. Seeing him like this reminds me so much of Ari, and scares me to death.
Please say a prayer for us...we could use them right now. Thank you,
Amber

" Thank you for your prayers everyone. Phoenix will be in for observation tonight, and might be discharged tomororrow-if he can keep his oxygen up unassisted. Turns out he has "asypmtomatic" pnemonia, his oxygen levels were low, was getting dehydrated, and has a ruptured ear drum. He wasn't even acting sick before today, this all came on very sudden. Thank you so much for all of the support, I really need it right now. Seeing him like that has sent my mind into a wild tailspin of emotions, and the anxiety is at an all time high.
I'll try and post more updates throughout the night...we're not getting very good service here, so my time on line limited. Thanks again...you all mean the world to me! "

" Well, Phoenix pulled his oxygen canula out while sleeping, and so far for the most part his oxygen has remained in the mid 80's, peaking to the mid 90's, and has dropped to the low 70's for a short time. So, for now, they just have the mask laying on the mattress by his face, and hopefully this will be enough. Thanks again to everyone for all the prayers and support.
