Not Quite So Long Lost (getting better)

So, we have made it through the holidays and stayed fairly healthy, until recently. Emily had her check up on December 7 and we recently found out the dreaded mycobacteria abscessus is back! Why oh, why? We are waiting for sensitivity testing right now--to find out which drugs will be an option to treat this once again. It is a hard regimen with three antibiotics, usually a couple IV and one oral...and the last time we did this for six weeks. Em was actually hooked up to IVs for 4 1/2 hours a day! So, for now we wait--Em's actually feeling bad this weekend, been real congested and running a fever. Calling for snow on Monday, so looks like we might have a long weekend for her to rest up.

Yep, you did....
I am truly going to try and do better for 2011. I want this to be something Emily can look back on and read as she gets older...
It was good to see you all too! Sure to see you around on the soccer fields this spring!
