One of the blood cultures has come back positive for an infection in Mike's blood. The culture needs to grow more to determine what it is and the best course of drugs to use. Pray specifically that it is not a drug resistant bacteria and that we can knock it out quickly.
The concern that I have is that Mike's White Blood Count is dropping (below normal) and yet he has this infection. His White Blood Count should be high. The White Blood cells fight infection. Pray for his body to work as God originally designed. Pray protection over his organs and systems.
Mike's Red blood cells are also dropping and we will probably do a transfusion as well.
Overall, Mike is just tired, but looks pretty good. The only symptom right now is a fever. But it appears that this stay in the hospital may be awhile. Pray for me and I juggle all the needs of Elizabeth and Mike. May God bless you for your faithfulness to lift our needs before Him!
