Well it is now Wednesday night and Gib is back in the hospital. His fever went back up and so back he went. After being asked a dozen times if he had been to Africa lately they decided that he must have Lyme Disease.
He tested negative for it two days ago apparently the blood tests often give false results in the first month of infection. So the only way we will know that is it really Lyme Disease is if the antibiotics start to work.
So he is on antibiotics and more pain killers to help break the fever. And Ellie and I are in for some quality time together while he recovers. I have to admit that I hope it is Lyme Disease, because that is a known entity. And because it isn't contagious so I will finally get to spend some time with him and he may be able come visit Ellie sooner than later. It does sound like he is in for a long recovery but hey at least it is a recovery.
Ellie weighs 10.5 lbs now.
