Please pray for Danny

My husband, the love of my life, is in the hospital right now and needs everyone to pray for a speedy recovery. We've been told he has colitis, but really don't understand what that is and why it would cause such a long stay in the hospital. Monday afternoon he came home from work feeling "yucky". That evening he began running fever and running to the restroom. After about 12 hours of all of that stuff he was in terrible pain. We decided it was best to go to the ER. After 8 hours of misery in the ER and after a x-ray and CT scan, they told him he had colitis or inflamation of the colon. The best way to treat this was IV antibiotics and pain medicine in the hospital. Originally they said 48-72 hours, but now the docs are saying he may not go home until the weekend or later. He's not really improving either. He still has severe nausea and pain. They are changing the antibiotic to one that isn't quite so strong believing that the antibiotic could be causing the nausea. They are also doing another x-ray on his tummy to make sure everything still looks okay. Fortunately, the girls have 2 wonderful grandmothers that live very close so I'm able to spend the night with him and part of the day.

Added frustration...Laura started running a fever today. Ibuprofen hasn't worked yet either.

Please keep Danny in your prayers.
