Caetlin Update

I'm posting this from my Blackberry; we're in the hospital again, and it looks like they will be admitting Caetlin, at least overnight. Her urine culture is growing something, and though the lab is not entirely clear what, the doctor is afraid that it is a bug that is resistant to most oral antibiotics, and so wants to admit her to make sure she gets the IV antibiotics she will likely need. Also, while we were here, she just had her third seizure in 36 hours, so we will be seeing a neurologist in the coming days, just to make sure there isn't anything more than febrile seizures going on. We will also see her urologist regarding her urinary reflux; since she has a UTI now, the prophylactic antibiotics are clearly not working, so we'll likely need to go ahead and have the surgery to fix it.



Anyway, that's all we have for now. Caetlin is sleeping comfortably, after having yet another dose of Motrin. We're still in the ER for now but I expect they will move us upstairs to a room shortly.

More news as events develop.

Hey guys. I am so, so sorry. Poor baby. And it cannot at all be easy going through this with Segunda on the way, all the physical and emotional challenges of the third trimester. We are thinking about you guys a lot and sending lots of hugs and love. Hug each other for us! Love, Sara, Ryan and Besh
