Update from Mark and Laura re: Daniel

We called Children's Neuro dept. yesterday, because there was swelling and some blood oozing out of Daniels incision, they said bring him in immediately. Once there, they confirmed an infection and admitted him. They did a CT scan of the head at 1:00 this morning, with the intention of surgically opening the incision back up today, cleaning it out and re-stitching it back up. Providentially, the CT scan showed only a superficial infection which can be treated by antibiotics, and LORD willing, he will be released sometime today once the culture that identifies what type of bacteria we're dealing with, has been returned from the lab.

Continue to pray that God will indeed receive all the glory in all things.
Mark

I spoke with Laura this morning and she said that Daniel is on two IV full-spectrum antibiotics until the doctors know what is causing the infection and then they can use the specific antibiotic that works best against it.
