Back at RWJ. Again

Molly was terribly unhappy on Saturday evening and ended up not sleeping much all night. Sunday morning she had a 105 temperature, so we took her to the ED at RWJ at around noon. We spent a casual afternoon having blood drawn, a couple x-rays, and aurine sample taken, while squished in a crowded pod with a tiny television. Around 3:30 they moved us all to the five-star accomodations on the pediatric floor. We've been there before. Molly is like a rock star up there: everyone knows her.

At any rate it appears she has a urinary tract infection and she'll be in the hospital a few days, at least. They're waiting for some blood culture results to determine if the antibiotics she is on will suffice, or if they'll need to change to another. But that's essentially the treatment: Motrin for fever; antibiotics for infection.

That's basically it.
