Prayers please!

Please say a prayer to my dearest friend, Melissa, little Sara. Sara is one of the twisters and just turned 4yrs old. She was admitted last night to Childrens Hospital in Knoxville TN. We don't know much, other than she has had a fever and strep throat, and a rapid heart rate. Her pediatrican did blood tests and is concerned about the results. They feel something else is going on and admitted her for further testing. So please put Sara Hickman in your thoughts and prayers, as well as the rest of the family, Melissa, Rob, Emily and Sara's twin Abby.

***update @ 6:00pm: Talked and texted Melissa, they've done an echo on Sara, waiting results from that. She's nervous because they took over 100 pictures of the little ones heart. Adenovirus came back negative. They chose not to treat for kawasaki disease until they get the results from the echo. She ate earlier in the day (does have an iv) but after a nap her temp spiked to 102.8. They gave her motrin, and the temp is going down - but she's not eating. :( Rob and Melissa will be staying with her for the night, and hopefully we'll know more soon!

Oh my gosh, how scary. Very shocked to read this. Please tell Melissa I'm thinking of her and sending lots of positive thoughts her way.
