Esther is back in the hospital up on the pediatric floor. We came in this morning through the ER. We can't safely manage her at home anymore. The fever is causing too much dehydration and she is just too sick.
Esther has a temporary IV in her fistula and will be going down to Interventional Radiology this afternoon to have a PICC line put in. That will give good, longer term access and she won't have to be stuck everytime they need to draw labs.
They are running more blood tests and cultures and will be doing a series of abdominal ultrasound scans, but beyond that, I don't yet know what the plan is.
Stay tuned and please be praying for my poor pup.

Nancy & Esther,
We are thinking of you and praying that Esther gets better soon so you can go home for good.
Please let Esther, my kidney sister, know that in a gesture of kidney companionship, I am forcing my right kidney to drink as much water as her left kidney is suppose to be drinking. Anyone that tells you drinking 4 liters of fluid per day is easy has not tried it!!!
Take care.
We are hoping for another hospital break soon!!
Love,
Katherine & Nicole
