I just talked to Kate. Apparently, when Mark was born, both Kate & Mark had a fever. So they took cultures on them and said that final results wouldn't be available for 48 hours. But the preliminary results came back on Mark today and they were positive. We don't know what they are positive FOR, at this time, but regardless the doctors are jumping all over this. The little guy is having an IV port put in right now & will be getting IV antibiotics every 12 hours until we know more & probably beyond.
Kate is really upset. She's going to be discharged tomorrow and now it looks like Mark won't get to go home with them for Christmas. And she's scared, because she doesn't know what this might mean. I am praying it was either a false positive or a low-grade infection of some kind, because Mark has been doing awesome since he got here -- eating well, resting well, etc....
Anyway, any & all prayers & good thoughts will be much appreciated!
Where the voices get to come out of my head and ramble elsewhere...
