Sometimes you're up, and.....

Sometimes you're down.
Into the ER at 1:00 Friday morning. Mark started having headaches on tuesday that got longer and stronger until really painful + fever by thursday night. Called Dr. then headed to ER. Spinal tap, brain MRI, belly ultrasound, blood test, urine test, nose swap.... seems like hundred tests later - we know it isn't any of the "serious" things that they were concerned about but won't know until Sunday afternoon when we get the spinal fluid cultures back what type of virus infection we are dealing with. Strong antibiotics, fluids, fever reducer and strong pain meds are all in the works until then. We are settling in and mark is sleeping lots. Will be in hospital "couple of days" .... We'll see what that really turns out to be. Boys are with my parents. We are doing "fine".

For now, please pray for clear answers on tests. Alert minds for the Drs to pick up on anything and everything they need to. Pray for effective treatment and no complications of GVHD with this infection. Pray for peace and rest for us all. Thank you.
