My middle son's friend has encephalitis, and has been hospitalized for over three weeks. He is in a medically induced coma.

If any of you would hold him in your heart and send up a prayer on his behalf (and his family's), I would be very grateful. If you could put him on your church's prayer board, his name is Noah.

And he's only 8 years old.

Thank you so much,

Alison

Consider it done immediately, will pray for Noah and his family - I can't imagine what life is like for them right now. Bedside vigils and cafeteria food and life on hold....I would imagine

Apparently, it started with a stomach virus.

Thank you so much, everybody. From what I have heard, it still looks grim. :(

Please keep the prayers coming....

Oh how awful.....poor thing. I'll be saying prayers for him too.

I'll be giving my kids some extra cuddles today.....sometimes life gets so hectic and chaotic, I take for granted that they'll be here another day. Hearing a story like this just makes me want to savor every moment with them.

Keep us updated, I hope the little guy is able to pull through.

Thanks, Amanda. He is very sad and very serious. I emailed his teacher at school to see if the class could pray for Noah, even though most of them don't know him.

We so wish we could do more than pray....

I couldn't help thinking of Noah all weekend. I have a long prayer list this month and Noah is certainly on it. Please keep us up to date on his condition.

The school is going above and beyond--the whole school is praying for Noah every morning until he comes home!

Wow! I take it that this is not a public school that your son goes to.

I've said another prayer for Noah, his family, the doctors and nurses taking care of him. Also said a prayer for all of his friends too.

Thank you so much, everybody.

His doctors are changing his meds this week, and say that they really don't know what to expect, but that they fear that he is in for a bumpy ride this week.

Please keep the prayers coming....

Prayers for Noah and his family.

This might cheer you up. My sister had it when she was 3 and we were told she would die or remain comatose. She is currently 38 and anything but in a coma! Miracles CAN happen!

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !
