Hublog: That's what all the fuss was about...

Last night Edison yawned and I noticed a little slit in his bottom gum. I am hoping this new tooth is partially to blame for the past month of fevers, diarrhea, chewing, drooling, crying, not sleeping, and snot. I realize that we also had some terrible virus that is plaguing the Midwest pediatric population but surely it couldn't have lasted a month. Edison is teething almost a full two months earlier than Violet. She got her two bottom teeth within 6 days of each other so I am watching for its mate.

Anara is finally better although she cannot hear anything. It's kind of sad to talk to her and get absolutely no response or to think that she heard you and then realize she has no idea what you said. I am hoping her head starts draining soon. She hasn't had a fever in over 24 hours so hopefully the virus has run its course. Edison is still snotty and coughs to clear but it's less and less.

Anara has another surgery scheduled for April 10th. She formed a 1 cm stone since her last surgery approx. 6 weeks ago. Dr. Kaefer is shocked that she could have formed a stone that quickly and he isn't quite sure how to proceed. Unfortunately we have no choice but to remove that stone through another incision under general anaesthesia. Then we will probably be referred to nephrology to try and figure out what's going on. He is still hoping that it is due to the population of Proteus bacteria or her mucous production. It's amazing that she can have Proteus after three rounds of Cipro and 3 times daily irrigation with saline and gentamicin. There is a minute chance that this mass isn't a stone but the nipple of her ureter entering the reservoir. We are praying that this is the case and that she won't end up needing another incision. We won't find out until she is already under general and being scoped on April 10th.

I think that is all new new Hub happenings. I promised Anara that we would have house church this morning since we didn't go to church with Daddy and Violet. I better go make good on that promise.... we will see if she can even hear me.
