CDiff is Back and Brady's Toe...

Took Kacie back to the pediatrician May 19th.  The doctor is afraid the CDiff is back.  She gave her some fluids and sent us home while we wait for the results.

Mom and Dad went to Utah to see Rosie's family and they invited Brady to tag along since Kacie has been so sick and he was SO excited to go!

Congrats Caleb!

Sunday Brady went outside to play with the kids and fell through a six foot window well.  He stood on the screen that covers it and it wasn't secured good enough and fell through.  I don't know how but Braxton managed to help pull him out and Brady got quite a few bruises and lost the nail on his big toe.  He was pretty upset and Mom said Mckinley stayed with him for two hours trying to comfort him...SO sweet!
Monday the 23rd I spent a total of seven hours at TV-Peds.  The first five were with Kacie getting more fluids and finding out that the CDiff is back.  I swear no one know Kacie's veins better than Dr. Dunbransky.  She put her back on the Vancomycin 500 mg 4 times a day.  The last two hours were with Brady getting his toe fixed back up and chasing after presciptions.  The doctor said there is nothing more painful than loosing a toe nail so she said it is better to leave it on while it heals.  She gave us a prescription of bactriban and said we needed to change the bandage every night after he showers.




















I couldn't believe Brady fell asleep while we were waiting for the doctor. What a day...I swear I feel like my life is just meant to be spent with doctors. I would seriously consider becoming a nurse if I didn't have to go back to school. Haha!

Kacie had to go back everyday to get fluids except for the day we went to see the kidney doctor,  On Wednesday she finally told the doctor to keep her IV in because she was tired of getting Poked.  The doctor grinned and said you do have feelings.  She was beginning to wonder when she never wanted to leave it in.  The kidney doctor said he wouldn't take out her IV yet because she still needed more fluids on Friday.  He also said he would send in a referral to see a GI doctor for a possible fecal transplant and he also lowered her Prograf to 5 mg a day.  The pediatrician gave her two liters on Friday and begged her to drink.  That seemed to get her good enough through the long weekend.
