Update on Arik: We got all his tests back and...nothing. His echo on his heart came back great. His CT scan showed that his Spleen is enlarged but that could be from a number of things.
His doctor talked to him today and asked how he was doing. Arik has not had any fevers in the last two days. The doctor said to have Arik check his temperature any time he starts to feel really crappy and monitor it. He also said that Arik's body might finally be fighting off whatever he had. Seen he has had fevers for the past month, the doc said that Arik will probably not feel good for a while still since his body has had to battle the fevers for so long.
If the fevers come back there is other tests that they can run but Arik is hoping he is on the down hill.
Because of the spleen Arik can't do anything extreme,so no skiing :(, basketball, or anything that can cause the spleen to rupture. So now we are just waiting again to see if Arik's body can beat this thing on its own.
We are so grateful for all the prayers and fasts and everything people have done for us. I do not think that it is a coincidence that Arik is starting to feel a little better around the time that everyone found out and really started the prayers and fasts. We will keep everyone updated on what is going on if anything or when anything changes.

Arik
Okay so Arik got mad yesterday after my post on facebook and our blog. I then deleted everything. After we got into bed last night I explained to him that though he can keep everything bottled inside and be fine, his wife could not and if she had no outlet then she would have a mental breakdown. He was a little more willing to let me post stuff, though he is not happy about it and would rather I not.
So here is a much condensed version of what I posted yesterday. Arik said before we can freak out and really stress we need to hear from the cardiologist and get the results from CT Scan.
For the last 5 weeks Arik has been having high fevers (103/104). He went to the doc and he first thought it was Arik's way of fighting the flu. After a week Arik had blood work done. It came back with a small spike in his liver enzemes. Everything else was good and healthy.
The infectious diease doc asked him to have an Echo done because there is a heart diease that has some of Arik's symptoms. Arik had an Echo done on Friday. The tech circled a dark spot and so we are waiting to hear from the cardialogist to make sure it was nothing.
Arik then had a CT Scan today. We should know something by Friday, hopefully. He just feels like crap all the time. He rarely eats anything and pretty much has been living on Gatorade. Definitely not Arik.
