Adam Update

First I want to thank everyone for their thought and prayers over the past 36 hours. I can feel Adam (and me) covered in prayer. I cannot express how comforting that is in such an unsettling time. He has such great care at St. V's, his admit, his attention from nurses, his doctors, (all of them). He has been a bit of of a test case because of his age and the wide variety of symptoms he has had. There are many specialists who have come to his room to check him out. As my John says, that is a good thing. Many minds focusing on him is a good thing.
Adam's heart tests came back as abnormal. He is currently in CCU and has an infection in at least one of his heart valves. The doctor's have put him on IV antibiotics to try and stall the infection. If they can clear up the infection, it looks as though he will undergo surgery for either valve repair or replacement.
Adam is very sick and very scared. We are thanksful that other than this, Adam is young and healthy. What we need right now is prayer. Prayer for Adam, for his medical team and for me.
I hope this blog makes it easy for me to stay in touch with all of you who care so much, and a place for all of you to be together.
Love,
Val
