Sickies

So, there has been a set back in our plan to go home. Zoe has come down with a nasty gastro-intestinal bug that is making her life pretty miserable. The docs have run every test there is to figure out what it could be, and everything has come back negative so far. They think it's a bug that is common in a lot of long term hospital patients that essentially happens when the good bugs in your intestines are killed off from antibiotic treatments, so the bad bugs take over. She's in lots of pain, stomach cramping, vomiting, diarrehia, the works. It's insult to injury, having gone through these surgeries, and then to have to deal with this. If it is what they think it is, then she will need more antibiotics, and she is being started on some acidopholis today to try to build up her good bugs. In the meantime they are giving her IV fluids, and anti-nausea meds. We probably won't get results back until tomorrow, and hopefully headed home in a few days. We'll see. Keep you posted.
