Last night (Sunday) about 10.30pm (4.30pm in Alabama) we received the following message from Rachel:
Please pray for Phoebe. We are on our way to hospital. She is not right at all, been vomiting and neurologically unresponsive.

| Phoebe a month ago |
Rachel & Matt, Phoebe and Reuben had enjoyed a happy weekend away from Mobile with friends.
While on the their way back home, they had to call an ambulance after Phoebe was very unresponsive and crying. She was taken to hospital in Montgomery, Alabama (about 170 miles from Mobile). Obviously they are very concerned for her.
Since then Rachel has asked:
Please pray especially for Reuben. He is finding it very distressing seeing Phoebe in this state.
At 5am this morning (11pm for them) we received this update from Rachel:
We are all back in Mobile. Reuben staying the night with the
friends we've been with this weekend. He'll go to Matt's sister's tomorrow. I'm staying
at the hospital with Phoebe; Matt has nipped home to bring me a few supplies
and all Phoebe's notes.
So far CT scan and X ray suggest shunt is ok and she wasn't
dehydrated as we thought . But she's still not right at all. Could still be
shunt malfunction. Aiming to keep her comfortable overnight and waiting to see a neuro surgeon early tomorrow . But she's starting with a fever now (11pm) so
pray that doesn't develop. Staff here are v nice. Thanks for prayers.
She's been quite incoherent, confused, and distressed. She's sleeping calmly now but is running a fever. Yet again we covet your prayers. We haven't seen her this poorly since she was in ICU with sepsis in Aug 2015.
This brings back painful memories of two and a half years ago. Please pray for them!
Thank you
Marcus and Jen
