Watching and Waiting and Hanging Out

A relatively quiet week here at the Aplin house, er, apartment. Susannah's last renal scan showed no additional obstructions (yay!) and the urine culture showed that once again, new bacteria had grown that was resistant to the antibiotic she was on (boo!). She's been on a new, very heavy-duty medication for a week now with good results. She had another urine culture and sodium test at the pediatrician Friday. Also, she weighs about 16 1/2 pounds now, which is pretty good, but Operation Fatten Her Up is not over.

Other than that, we've been enjoying normal stuff like baths and snacks (yes, it is an exciting life we lead). And Susannah's enthusiam mirrors our own when it comes to President Obama! That's something to really be excited about.

Susannah's first picture with our wonderful President Obama! That is a keepsake for her and something she will cherish, along with her wonderful parents and doctors. Hope today's news on the tests is what we all are praying to hear. All my love, GMP
