Sweet Silas is in the hospital!

Silas was admitted to CHOP last night with a fever and tachycardia.  His heart rate got up to 230 or so.  Because his is a newborn with a fever he had to endure a spinal tap (multiple attempts by multiple doctors, blood cultures, catheder for urine sample, EKGS, and an IV. 

So far his urine appears to be infected.  He is on IV antibiotics.  Other results are still pending.

The cardiologists believe the tachycardia is secondary to the infection (sinus tachycardia) and it improved after IV fluids (he received a dose of adenosine as well prior to fluids I believe).

He will be in the hospital until Friday (at least).

Poor Sonja had to watch all those procedures by herself as Mike was home taking care of Jamison (it was the middle of the night).  I can't imagine.  Just thinking about it make me cry.

Please be praying for their family and that Silas recovers quickly! 

Thanks!
