No More Foreign Bodies

Unless Josie has recently eaten a puzzle piece or Lucy has stuffed a marble down her throat, Josie is now free of foreign bodies. Despite a slight snotty nose, Mitch took J.B. to UCLA and they took out her stint. (I got to take Lucy to swim lessons and school - the much better end of the deal). Mitch said that Josie did great except for 30 minutes of inconsolable screaming when she came out of the anesthesia. Now we just have one more month of antibiotics and an ultrasound to get through before we emerge from the kidney saga and enter into the six month monitoring phase where she just has to go to UCLA for an ultrasound every six months (for the next several years...).
