Levi is doing pretty well. The doctor's said his 24 hour blood culture results were negative, so that's a huge praise. Unfortunately they might want to go ahead and keep him for 10 days. He's being treated for Group B strep meningitis. They don't want to discharge Levi too soon and have more problems later. I really don't want to stay here 10 days, but I want what is best for my little munchkin! I guess they'll decide tomorrow for sure what the plan is after they get the 48 hour culture results.

Well we are going to be staying for 14 days. One of the spinal tests was positive, so it looks like he has meningitis. There is still another test we're waiting on to determine if it's from the group B. Levi has gone now to get a special IV that will last longer than a peripheral IV. Please continue to pray for us. One of the side affects from meningitis is hearing loss. And I guess one of the antibiotics can cause hearing loss too so pray God will protect his ears. They also told me to watch out for seizures. I guess that's all for now.
Please pray that God would give the doctors and nurses wisdom in their treatment plan. Please pray that Bonnie would be able to have some rest, as much as she can sitting in the hospital room with Levi. I know that she is getting a little bored and stir crazy there. And continue to pray for Avery ... that she would do well with all the adjustments and changes that she is having to deal with. She got to spend the day with her "favorite" Aunt Tobey today, so I know that she had a blast! And pray for Josh as well ... he had to return to work today. Pray that he can stay focused at work for his safety (he works for the Memphis Fire Department).
I'll keep you updated as much as possible! Thanks again for your prayers!

Please tell your family that they are all in our prayers.
We are praying for little Levi that God will heal and protect his body during this time.
