Kyle Eppich

Today I got a scary phone call from my mom about my cousin Kyle Eppich, which is Karl and Kathi's son. Kyle and I are the same age and he now lives in Texas with his wife and 2 kids. He has not been feeling very good the last few days and has been to a few doctors, and finially his wife took him the the ER yesterday. Here is Kathi's letter to the family she can tell you better about what is going on:
Hi Family; Just an update on Kyle's progress. The 48 hr. cultures will be in today to see if the medications that they are using on him are correct. He had a chest x-ray last night because he was having difficulty breathing so they put him on oxygen,he loved it and wondered why they didn't do it earlier. The chest xray showed no signs of penumonia. He continues to drop his vitals in a good range and all of a sudden he begins another attach where his fever spikes and his heart rateraises. They are still baffled at the urinary tract infection, the kidney's are infected but responding to the medicationthey did ultrasound on the kidneys and they are functioning good and healthy which with E-coli posining that is a big problem so we feel good that they are not damaged. They are almost sure he has had E-coli poisoning but the cultures will confirm that.He has been a very sick guy. They are calling in an infectious disease spec. today to work with him.It's funny! As you can imagin I have had a hard time being here and them so far away. Kel found a good ticket price for us out of pasco, I told Natalie and Kyle told her sounds good, tell me what time to go pick her up. He told his Dad that he is pretty sick but is pretty sure he is going to rap this up soon and he will be fine. this has been a very scary time for their little family and we appreciate all the families prayers and willingness to fast with us.

I thought that all you that know Kyle would like to know what is going on. Please keep him in your prayers. Kyle has always been a big brother to me, always watching out for me.
