Menegitis Results: Negative, no infection
Urinary Tract/Kidney: Negative, no infection
Viral Lung Infection: Awaiting Results - but she is obviously sick
The results come as a huge surprise to us. The bacteria that was found in her spinal tap was merely a contamination of the sample and did not match the profile for meningitis. This is a huge relief to us along with the results regarding her urinary tract infection. What this means is the fever she was having is related to her viral infection (cold/flu), and she's been immediately taken off antibiotic medication. She'll continue to be monitored at the hospital while she's stabilized and monitored for her partial heart failure. This could be for quite some time since the cardiologist had planned for us to be admitted to the hospital on 11/16 anyway if she had not gained weight by that time and she still has a host of other heart related and respiratory issues to keep her busy.
