Evelyn - Meningitis

Hey everyone,

First off I just wanted to say that Evelyn, Jess and I are so grateful for your love and support!  We feel very well loved with you guys offering to help.  Momma, thanks for the Com and Goi Cuon.

Today Evee was in and our of fevers lingering in between 100.3 and 101.9 degrees today.  Which is actually a good thing at this point in the game.  Doctors say that her having those fevers means her body is fighting off the bacteria.  We have confirmed that two of the bloodwork tests have come back negative which means the E coli bacteria has been eliminated from the blood.  It takes special antibiotics and time for them to penetrate the spinal column and meninges so tomorrow morning we will have another spinal tap done to get a status on how the antibiotics are doing on the actual meningitis.

Some really good news is that today we got a cat scan on Evee's head to see if any bacteria or white blood cells had made any pockets in her brain.  The result came back all clear which is a huge relief.

Even though Evee's still aching and running the fevers, Jess and I are really glad to see that at time during the day when the Tylenol kicks in that our baby is acting like the baby we knew for the first 9 days.  Boy, being a parent has become quite the adventure already!
