Weekend At Home

The last few days have been a whirlwind, which has fortunately ended with us back at home again. We spent the last two nights up at UCSF dealing with Carly's most recent curveball. It looks like the biggest issue that sent her there was dehydration, even though her sodium (which we track very closely) was at a normal level.  Once an IV was placed and Carly was able to get some fluids, her heart rate began to lower toward more normal levels and she started to look and feel a lot better.  She had a decent day yesterday and overnight she slept pretty well, but was still bothered by something that clearly did not feel good.  Late in the day today test results came back that showed on top of dehydration Carly also has a urinary tract infection.  That helps to explain some of the pain that she has been having, and is now being treated with antibiotics.  Once again, living as close as we do to the hospital helped convince the doctors that Carly could head home early and we walked through our front door a few hours ago.  We are enjoying our family time at home and expect that Carly will feel better as the weekend passes.  Thank you for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers.

Love, Brad
