Last week was a busy, crazy, but good one for us! On Monday Tabitha and I drove out to Cincinnati, and the kids stayed at Heath's parents' while he was working. She had a quick surgery on Tuesday to remove the stents in her kidneys and the tube and urine bag (hallelujah!). Everything went well with the surgery, except that the next day we met with her doctor and found out she had a kidney infection. So now she's on antibiotics every 8 hours until Sunday. We'll get a renal ultrasound done here, send it to her doctor in Cincinnati, and hopefully everything will be fine.
So now we're back to her usual routine--cathing every 4 hours and a daily hour-long enema. Using her new Malone is much nicer than the old way of doing the enemas. She can do the whole procedure sitting on the toilet instead of on the floor. Hopefully she'll learn to do it by herself in the near future too. Once she's off the antibiotics we're hoping for complete success with the enemas so that she can get out of pull-ups. That is the worst part of all her problems. Those of you who pray for us, please just pray that her body cooperates and she's able to stay clean and wear normal underwear.
Wednesday Tab and I came back home. Thursday was Thanksgiving, and we had a fun day with Heath's side of the family! That evening, my side of the family arrived at our house. We had a second Thanksgiving on Friday, so needless to say....we've had plenty to eat lately! It was a great weekend of fun with them, and they headed home Monday morning.
Much to be thankful for!
