Addison and her daddy cuddled up together
We are home! We were released from the hospital today (Sunday) around 3 p.m. We have had very little sleep and are exhausted! Addison is a little bruised up but she is feeling better. Her first IV wouldn't flush so they had to put another in. They blew six veins before getting it in her. I think I cried harder than she did!! She has medicine for at home and we are going back to the doctor Wednesday. He is going to give her another catheter to make sure she doesn't have bladder reflux (where her bladder goes back to her kidneys instead of flushing out of her system). They will also be giving her an ultra sound to check her kidneys for any birth defects (apparently this runs in parts of her family). The type of bacteria she had was called Proteus and there is nothing to do to prevent it or make it come back, its all anatomy. Since she did get a UTI so early, she is susceptible to more. We are just hoping it was a one time deal and she doesn't have issues that are causing it! Also on Wedneday we are going to extract genes (blood test) to cancel out an extremely rare condition that some kids with albinism get called Hermanske Pudlag Syndrome. It's very severe and we are hoping she doesn't have it. Keep us in your preyers!!
