Finishing Antibiotics Again

Yesterday was the last day for the Vancomycin (which I've been spelling wrong) and today is the last day for the Ceftriaxone. We have blood and urine labs on Wednesday so we'll have preliminary urine results on Thursday. In the last lap around this circuit the first urine culture was negative, and the subsequent ones were not (and they got increasingly worse.) So I'll be happy with a negative culture on Thursday but happier the following week. We have blood and urine labs that following Thursday (2/5) so that preliminary result will be back on Friday (2/6.)

We have some fun stuff coming up though. We're hoping Katie can go back to school on Tuesday (as in tomorrow), we have the letter from her doctor, just waiting for the school to give us the final ok. She'll start with 1/2 days to build up her stamina. On Wednesday after the labs we are participating in a program called "Flashes of Hope". Then on 2/7 we're participating in our first Starlight Foundation great escapes event. Katie and I will be taking a class at the Young Chefs Academy of Rockville. We're also still waiting on the Make A Wish volunteers to call to come out to talk to Katie, according to the letter from them that phone call should come in any day. So we have some fun stuff coming up.
