Well, after days of tests and waiting for cultures we now know Mark does not have anything super serious or anything bacterial. Everyone can stop wearing masks and gowns in the room.
The doctors are leaning towards viral meningitis. For most people the treatment would just be literally "go home take an aspirin and call the dr if you feel worse" it would run its corse in a few days. With Marks immune system suppressed it will take longer and require hospitalization so that he can be monitored closely. The fevers and headaches are the most concerning right now. Our dr has brought in a neurologist for his opinion. The Drs are in agreement that the plan is to watch him close for the next two days for improvement. The goal is to see the fevers stop and pain subside - which would get him off the morphine pump. Then we can talk about going home. Just a waiting game now.
Continue to pray for health and rest. Pray for the doctors to be sharp and not miss anything. Pray for my parents as they have the boys for me. Pray for my energy and attitude.
