Yet Another Post Concerning Ben..

So Benjamin got to go home from the Children's Center a couple of days ago, only to start having the same problems he had before he went..I'm just going to remind you all that he, his mom, and four other siblings are staying at my grandparents.

It's a 2-bedroom house. And Benjamin is up all night throwing up from the pain. He was on his way to the bathroom two nights ago when he fell in the floor right in the middle of the hallway and said, "I died, mom. I died."

The pain is that bad.

Mary, his younger sister who is 4, is also throwing up again...we are really confused as to why she's still sick when we already thought she was over it, but Candace (their mom, who is my aunt) is going to take them both back to the hospital today. Benjamin did not have enough fluids going into his body over the weekend, so when Candace called the doctor and reported his and Mary's current condition, he said to bring them both in.
As if that weren't enough, her husband, Jeff, got diagnosed with diabetes a few weeks ago, and didn't respond in a healthy way, so they let him get on insulin...and he is still going up and down...and instead of gaining weight like a lot of diabetics do, he's actually losing weight. He has lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks. He works for the railroad, so he could easily wind up in a dangerous situation.
Please keep praying for them...they really need it.
Thanks.
