My Daughter Gave Birth Yesterday. Today, The Doctor Said Her

My daughter gave birth yesterday. Today, the doctor said her white blood cell count was at 42000, the highest she's ever seen. They took the baby to the nursery for IV antibiotics, "as a precaution" and are sending my daughters test to a specialist. How worried should I be that this is something more than an infection?
