My brother's nephew collapsed in the shower and stopped breathing. He's been diagnosed with meningitis. Not sure what kind yet or what happens next. He's in a kid's hospital near here.
Meanwhile, that kid's grandpa (my brother's FIL) needs heart surgery but is having trouble getting it scheduled until Medicare (Medicaid?) approves the surgery.

Praying for your family. Have one's kid stop breathing is one of the scariest things in the world.

Jeremiah was moved to another room where a nurse can keep an eye on him full time. He had 2 seizures during the night.

So sorry to hear this. I pray the doctors will be able to intervene and help him to heal. Meningitis is a scary thing.

UPDATE ON MY MY SIL's NEPHEW!...Praise and glory be to God! Jeremiah is on the mend. He will most likely be leaving the hospital today! He does NOT have brain damage, and the doctors believe he will have a 100% recovery. Please keep him and his family in your prayers because it could take awhile to completely get over this devasting contagious disease!

He'll be monitored for a long time, but things are looking much better than they were last weekend.
