Today Liam moved into the new side of the PICU that was just built and opened up at the hospital. His blood cultures have been coming back negative for infection, so they are trying to determine what his fevers are spiking from. They are now going to do a spinal tap to look for signs of meningitis. Liam’s Infectious Disease Dr. said that the likely hood of him having meningitis is low, but it is a possibility. Results on this test can take up to 72 hours and if there is even a slight marker of the bacteria they will continue to treat him for meningitis, if not they will still continue the antibiotics to make sure there is not a sign of infection.
