Our plans have changed since the post last night. Here’s the new direction: We had the PICC team come in this morning to evaluate her. Unfortunately, the only vein they could find that had not been damaged from the repeated blood draws is very small. It was small enough that they weren’t confident that the
Today was a long day (although I suppose it was technically yesterday since I’m writing this post at midnight). We’re now running into the problem of too many cooks in the kitchen so to speak. There are a great number of specialists from a lot of departments looking at Adela now. We’re thrilled that she’s

Today I had to go to the allergist. It was not very fun and I wanted to go home. They pricked my back and made me itch and said I was allergic to the same stuff as before.
Here’s a toast to a new year – Happy and Healthy! We made it through a rather uneventful holiday. Unfortunately Adela and Steven were both sick over Christmas. Adela with a stomach bug and Steven with a bad cold, so we had a relatively quiet Christmas Day. Adela was not eating well for a few
On Friday we had our family Christmas photos taken. Adela was a bit reluctant to participate, but eventually we were able to coax her in front of the camera.
