Baby Kensi is in the Hospital

Kensi is now six weeks old. Yesterday, Robin and Ken noticed she had a fever and was sleeping alot. They took her temperature and it was 101 degrees. Babies 3 months and younger are supposed to still have mom's immunity from birth and they worry a great deal if the little one spikes a temperature. Of course the doctor on call told Robin and Ken to take Kensi to the emergency room. Unfortunately, they had to do two spinal taps ( they couldn't get anything on the first one, and actually didn't get anything on the second either ) along with IV, blood draws, catherization, x-rays etc. Today they finally found out she has an E-coli infection. They found it in her urine. She is getting IV antibiotics and will have to stay in the hospital for about a week. Please pray for a quick recovery for Kensi, knowledge for the doctors taking care of her and patience and courage for Robin and Ken. It is so hard to see your child sick and in pain. Also, please pray for Reese. He doesn't understand what's going on. He just knows Mom, Dad and Kensi aren't around. Please pray that he will be content and that this time will go by quickly for him. Thanks
