Pray for Baby Cohen

Cohen is home!!! Thank you for all of your prayers.
The hospital has ruled out that Cohen does not have meningitis.
All they say is it was a severe viral infection.

Hello All, Please put my cousin Jackie's baby on your prayer list. He is two months old. The following are e-mails Aunt Rosemary has been sending.

Monday-They admitted Cohen to the hospital yesterday. His blood work showed something wrong with his white blood count so they had to do a spinal tap. Those test results will not be available for 48 hours. Jackie had taken him to the doctor last Thursday for his two month injections. He has not been the same since, crying and running a temperature.

Tuesday-The second spinal tap will not reach the 48 hour culture until midnight tonight. His fever is still spiking. They took some type of nose swab this morning to check on a viral infection. He only takes about 2 ounces of formula. He will not be able to leave the hospital until the culture comes back and he has to be taking at least 4 ounces of formula.

She has two other children that are staying with their Grandma (Aunt Edna Mae). We need to pray for her as well.

Thanks so much
