They are still not completely convinced that it is not sterile, but they are beginning to believe that her progress may be due more to the antibiotics than the initial steroid treatments she received for the inflammation.
They want to keep her on the antibiotics for another 10 days and recheck her then. It appears that she may just fall into that 30% that have the other kind of encephalitis - either bacterial, viral, or fungal. We still don't know with her, but are hopeful that we may actually be able to cure this.
Thank you all for your continued prayers! They are helping all of us!
