Kendall is still doing well. Her bone scan showed an area of "concern" on her right hip so she had another MRI. The MRI showed no signs of infection.... phew!
So, our only remaining obstacle is keeping the IV lines going. The one they placed in her scalp failed this morning. It lasted 5 days, which isn't bad. They had to call an anesthesiologist this afternoon to get another line in her because her veins are so darn small. He got it in her right hand on the first try. Hopefully this one will last a few days as well.
I still can't get an answer on the remaining time she'll be here. The attending doctor has been consulting with several other doctors including an infectious disease doctor, an internist and another pediatrician. So far, one of them is recommending a 3 week treatment. NOT what I wanted to hear because that means she'll be here for Christmas. I've expressed my desire to have her home but ultimately, I know we need to do what's best for Kendall. I suppose they'll make a final decision later this week but I'm prepared for it to be bad news.
Before Kendall got sick again, we did a photo shoot with a local photographer that we met through a friend. She is just starting her own photography business. Here's a few pics:

Suzanne,
The babies look so beautiful together like that, I'm sure you are anxious for them to be back as a unit as soon as possible. Hang in there, you're doing great! Those babies sure are lucky to have a mama who loves them so much.
Take care and we're all thinking of you.

What beautiful pictures! You have such gorgeous little ones. I'm keeping a quick and healthy trip home for Kendall in my holiday wishes.
I'm glad Kendall is still doing well and that the bone scan went okay. I'm sorry that it's looking like she'll be in the hospital over the holidays. I hope she continues to improve and can come home soon.
The pictures are beautiful.
Hugs, Suzanne. You're doing a great job. I know this has to be so hard.
OH! They are so sweet. Keeping your sweet Kendall in my thoughts!
