<DIV>Well, we had good news and bad, sort of, news today. The good news --
we finally have a diagnosis; the bad news -- it's meningitis. At least
with a diagnosis they can start proper treatment. Before this, they were
just shooting in the dark.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They were finally able to do a lumbar puncture this morning and found the
bacteria in the spinal fluid, so now they are culturing it to identify the
little bugs and get the right treatment going. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you all for the prayers, energy, candles and good thoughts;
something's working.</DIV>

your knee.... that's a moray.</DIV>
