Test results

His spinal tap came back negative! His blood test from the 18th is positive, which we already knew. We just learned that the mystery infection is actually Group B Strep. They've had him on general antibiotics for the past 24+ hours. His doctor may change up his antibiotic to more specifically combat the strep. Shannon's feeding him right now. After she finishes, his nurse is going to take another blood sample for them to see how he's coming along today. We won't know those results for 24-48 hours.

Again, overall he's doing well. Now we'll pray that he is healed of Group B Strep.

What a blessing this man child is! Can't wait to get my hands on him and squeeze him (gently of course). We're so glad to hear he's healthy and doing well. Congratulations!!

That is AWESOME news!!! You both look terrific and we're so happy for your family. Shannon, I am still in awe. Someone needs to call Oprah on this one. Our prayer is that David and Shannon will have a very speedy recovery and that you will get to go home very soon. We love and miss you!
