Another Thursday Update - Spinal Tap

The doctors were finally able to do the spinal tap. Evan has been on antibiotics for 6 days. The results came back and there doesn't seem to be any type of infection. Thanks be to God!
His x-ray showed that his lungs were still hazy, but they will take another x-ray tomorrow. The doctor said 87 - 95% (could be wrong about the numbers) of the full term babies that end up in the NICU leave without the doctors ever knowing the real cause of the infection. The reason is because they immediately begin aggressive treatment on these babies, and by the time they are able to run tests the baby is better. We will continue to pray that his x-rays tomorrow show perfect clear lungs! God is good!
