Just a week this time

And just like that, she's back again. On antibiotics again (I can't imagine how those have wreaked havoc on her system over the years!)

 Even when there's just one passenger, Big Blue is still the way to go for a Mira pick up, because unlike Krassi and Bobbi's chairs, Mira's does NOT fit into the Jetta.

Check out tiny girl's beautiful hair! The nurses have as much fun playing with her hair as her sisters and I do here at home.

 She's looking really good. When Matt and I were in together on Wednesday to see her and meet with her new palliative care doctor, she did NOT look very good. It's amazing what a difference a few days can make for her. She vomited again this morning, but we're hoping that with her already being on antibiotics that if anything did go back down into her lungs that it will clear up quickly without causing any additional issues.

And if any of you are wondering why we're thinking a real mudroom might be a good idea in the not-so-distant future, here's a photo of how Mira comes into the house:

Notice the basement stairs going down on the left. Notice how she's smack against the storm door on the right. Notice the shoes on the landing. And notice how we still have to get her UP two more steps before she's actually in the kitchen. That's a two-person job. Now imagine what it's like when we're trying to get all 12 of us into the house at once! Yes, that doesn't happen all that often, but nine or ten at a time does.

But regardless, we brought that girl IN through those doors this afternoon, and are hoping she gets to stay here at home for a good chunk of time this time around.
