Not so Fast, We've Hit Another Stumbling Block

Saturday as I walked in to see Sarah, Cindy, her nurse was just getting of the phone with Mike. She needed consent from one of us to do a lumbar puncture. She spiked a fever friday night after Mike left and her blood was testing positive for an infection. They wanted to test her spinal fliud to make sure it wasn't infected as well. Preliminary results have ruled out Meningitis, thank God, but they still don't know what caused the infection and they may never know. She's on antiboitics that may take 21 days to administer depending on the results of the lumbar puncture. The LP results should be back today. I haven't been able to confirm whether this puts off her last surgery, but I hope to find out soon. She will probably be in the hospital for the Charit-a-bowl. I was hoping to have her home by then. When I saw her on Sunday night she seemed to be doing better.
