A Night at Blank

As you know from my last post we had quite a scare on Thursday with Trinity. There were still some tests that had not come back yet and on Friday we got a call from Blank saying that the culture had come back positive and that she has Urinary Tract Infection. This is probably what caused her to breakout into hives. Because we are still doing the catheter once a day and they took her off of the antibiotic last week this is probably what caused it and probably something we will deal with until we no longer have to do the catheter. They then wanted to admit her into Blank and start her on IV antibiotics. It just happened that Kathy and I were already in Ankeny so we drove right over to the hospital to get it started. They did one dose on Friday night and then did another Saturday morning. After the second dose we got to go home. They started her on a antibiotic that she will take orally for 9 days twice a day and then when that is gone she will be on another antibiotic that is given once a day until we are done with the catheter. They also did an ultrasound of her kidneys and they both look good.
Of course this is not how I thought our trip to Iowa would go, but at least we caught it and she can be treated for it.
Hopefully the rest of our visit will be a little less eventful.
Make sure to check out the poster on the side of the blog for Trinity's benefit. We will be back for that and can't wait for all of you to meet Trinity!
