I had this conversation with 3yo Tyler as I was leaving for the hospital -
Tyler: Why do you have to go to Sofia?
Trish (deciding to throw back the question): Why?
Tyler: Because you have to!
Trish: Why do I have to?
Tyler: Because everyone loves her!
Trish: Everyone?!?
Tyler: Everyone in this house.
It’s much more than just everyone in this house, actually 
Sooo, after initial signs of responding to the specific antibiotic, the infection is still there, looking like it’s coming from her peritoneum. Sofia will have a procedure at 7 am tomorrow to replace her Tenchkoff cathether, the one used for her peritoneal dialysis.
Sofia signaled today through her blood test results that she’s ready for this procedure – PT & PTT clotting factors, platelet count, hemoglobin – I’ve learned so much I can apply for medical residency now. When she doesn’t want a procedure she does things like crash her platelet count or spike her white blood cell count.
Please say a little prayer for a smooth procedure.
