Back in the hospital but at least we know what is going on

This morning we found out that Keira has a condition called c diff. It is caused by the antibiotics she takes three days a week to prevent her from contracting a life threatening pneumonia. Apparently the "good bacteria" that your body needs to process waste have been depleted. We don't know how severe her case of c diff is yet or how they plan to treat her. I will update when we know more.

Update - Keira's case is mild. They will treat her with an oral medication that she can even take at home. She will be discharged when her counts recover. Last time it took 13 days, hopefully this time will be much sooner.
