Meningitis is a very serious illness, and unfortunately, the prognosis isn't always good. It's important is to have aggressive treatment for it in order to maximize Dash's chances for survival. Yes, he does need the CFS tap, it's one of the most important diagnostic tests. I really hope that Dash survives, he is in my thoughts :-(
