The cultures came back positive for Campylobacter, a very common source of food poisoning. Caleb has now been started on antibiotics. However, Aaron has been on them since Sunday with no improvement, so that is concerning. We also figured out where we got the infection from - we went through a spurt of eating soft-boiled eggs just before Easter, and apparently that is a very common source of this particular bacteria. Katy and I didn't have any, which explains why we did not get sick.So, a few new prayer requests:
- Effective treatment with antibiotics
- Out of the hospital in time for Grandpa's funeral
- Aaron's quick recovery of strength so he can go back to work
- No development of Guillain-Barré syndrome, which occurs in 40% of patients with severe Campylobacter requiring medical attention
