A Rough Week & Now Back in MD :(

So a lot has gone on this past week, Julia & I got back to work & school & tried to find our rhythm. Unfortunately her doctors called me from MD as they were concerned with some of her csf samples. It seems when they studied them in the lab they where growing some bacteria in them. It was a slow growing bacteria that is normally found on the skin. They asked me to take her to Shands for a csf draw there so they could see what was going on. I took her on Tuesday & they did the draw. Our Md doctors communicated with the lab @ Shands all week & by Sat we all breathed a sigh of relief when no bacteria grew in her sample. They looked @ it again Sunday & still nothing. However on Monday morning they called @ said it had started to grow :( I was shocked, as were the doctors. I think I'm still in shock honestly. So what does this mean? Well we went to our local hospital mrmc yesterday, Monday & they gave her some antibiotics through iv & then we were on a plane last night headed to Md. They gave her more iv antibiotics last night shortly after we arrived & now she will be getting them every 12 hours for the next 7-10 days. The goal is to knock this bacteria out before it turns into an actual infection. That is the silver lining right now, this thing has the potential to cause meningitis, but as of right now she is not having any symptoms of an infection.  So for now we sit & wait & keep up the antibiotic schedule until the doctors decide the rest of the plan :)
