Kintropy In Action

The timeline goes like this:

• Thursday evening:  Hannah is released from the hospital.  Follow-up in three weeks or so for another procedure unless Hannah starts a fever back up, gets a tender abdomen, or starts moving away from her typical behavior baseline.
  
• Friday:  Hannah is enjoying her time at home, playing with the Bee and chatting up a storm.
• Saturday morning:  We all head out to visit Bubbie and Zadie's new house.  As I'm getting ready to take Hannah out of the car, I notice a river of green goop dripping from her nose.

Ah yes, the Saturday Goop.  Two-and-a-half days out of the hosptial, and Hannah has a cold:  a nasally, thick, goopy cold.  Throughout the weekend, she continues to play mostly like herself, with a little more sleep, but the goop flows and flows.

Janette and I are wondering if this will remain just a cold or develop into something else.  Particularly given Hannah's body's propensity for things like psedomonus and the like, we're hoping things will stay pretty minor.  We're placing side bets on whether or not we'll manage to make it three-plus weeks before the next hospitalization/procedure, but we're happy to report no fever.  Yet.  And the goop seems to be tapering off just a bit.

As a backup, though, I've cancelled outside projects/meetings this week, both to catch up on missed work and to avoid last minute changes should the goop turn to something else.  And, no, I didn't take a picture of Hannah's goopy nose for the blog.  Yeck.   So here's a recent picture instead:
