****SECOND UPDATE**** Baby Aria was discharged home yesterday as there isn't much else they can do for her in the hospital. Her parents (sleep deprived enough already) are charged with monitoring her and continuing to help her recover. They could certainly still use our prayers, but God has been faithful and Aria is on the road to recovery. And any of you who have or are having newborns, THIS is why they say you have to bring your itty bitty baby into the hospital if she has a fever of any sort when she's that little- because there's often no other sign that would differentiate a cold from something much more serious like meningitis.
****UPDATE**** The doctors believe that Aria has viral meningitis caused by some kind of enterovirus. They are still treating her with antibiotics in case there are any bacteria there and she is also getting some type of antiviral. She will be staying tonight at least in the hospital; maybe tomorrow night, too. Her mom and dad are staying with her and they sound like they're doing okay. Please continue to keep them in your prayers. Thanks!! I'll post some pictures of our latest doings soon. :)
I know there are many of you out there who care for us and care for our friends. Please pray today for one of my closest friends, Kelly, whose baby Aria is in the hospital today with meningitis. She is only 4 weeks old and had no symptoms except for a fever, but now will have to stay in the hospital for the next few days. My friends are understandably scared. They need lots of caring people to pray for them.
