I just got an email from Greg with an update on his son, Sean:

Hey there. Just wanted to let you know what’s going on. They took Sean in and did all the tests last night...spinal tap, chest x-rays, blood work, urine, etc. They’ve ruled out meningitis, which is the first and most deadly thing they look for. At this point, we are simply waiting for the blood cultures to come back from the lab. Some of the tests take 72 hrs. So, Sean will remain in the hospital until some time Friday for observation and as a precaution. They think it’s most likely just a virus of some sort, but they want to be sure before they send him home. His fever peaked at 102.3 and seems to be coming down now.

Thanks so much for keeping us in your prayers. Once I know more I will let you know.
