FRANKIE GOES TO HOSPITAL

Poor little Frankie B. is back in the hospital, due to a high fever she had early Thursday. When newborns get fevers over 100.4 (Frankie's was 101.3!) the doctors go into hyperdrive, doing a battery of tests that include blood, urine & even a spinal tap (to check for meningitis). So far, Frankie has done fine--her fever is gone, as is her jaundice--but we're still waiting for some test results to make sure. Meanwhile, she continues to receive antibiotics, just in case. It's heartbreaking to see her with an IV, lying there in an incubator, but she's tough as nails & will be home soon.
