@#%! Bacteria

Well, we know who the enemy is. Annie has developed a staph infection which is what caused the worry earlier this week. The good news is that this infection is really common and they started treating her for it on the antibotic cocktail they introduced earlier this week. What has been hard is that, as a result of this, she has had to have a blood tranfusion (thank you, Dadda, for your kind donation) and a second spinal tap. It's so hard to authorize these things that cause her pain. The doctors and nurses have been wonderfully patient with us and responded to every little question and we continue to be so thankful for the amazing care that she is receiving. Keep the prayers and appeals to higher powers coming -we can never express how much your support and prayers keep us ALL going.
