Released!

Nora was finally discharged from the hospital late yesterday morning. It turns out that Nora had a urinary tract infection that spread to her kidneys, which in turn started pumping a lot of bacteria into her bloodstream. The root cause of all of this is a low-level kidney reflux, which she will hopefully grow out of in 4-6 years.

The good news is that she is feeling better now than she has in over a week. The bad news is that she is going to need to stay on oral antibiotics every day for the next several years to prevent something like this from happening again. Much to our surprise, the pharmacy has her antibiotic available in a wide variety of flavors...so we're hoping the banana will cover the yucky taste of the medicine.

We're back to business as usual around here which is a huge relief for all of us. The past few days were a nightmare that I hope we will never have to repeat. Thanks to everyone for helping out with your thoughts and prayers.

Time to go...Nora is throwing food again. Back to her old self!
