All's well that ends well
Nephew came home at the end of the week and we travelled to see him. Since he was quarantined last weekend, all we could offer was moral support to his folks.
The docs would not specify what sort of menengitis virus he had. They said there were too many to test for and let it go at that. Another theory that was presented was that nephew caught the meninigitis from his circumcision wound, but even that was offered as a guess. I don't suppose we'll ever really know how he contracted the illness.
What we do know is that he's doing well. He has developed a high pitched cry, which a nurse mentioned as a sign of nuerological damage. I have not done much research on this, so I can't confirm. He does eat, poop, sleep and wake regularly. He also follows movement with his eyes, so this is good.
He's a very handsome guy. It was cool to meet him FTF this weekend.
