A bump in the road

The Walshes take a middling selfie Jan. 21, 2018 at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Autumn, Adrienne and I are back at Hopkins. Things were going really well, and we were really enjoying being at home. But about a week ago, Autumn had a fever and starting looking dehydrated.

We took her to the Hopkins emergency room Jan. 17, 2018, and were admitted. The long and short of it is that she still needs to work on feeding and fluids, but maybe not at home just yet. We’ll be here for a little while longer. We are checked back in at Ronald McDonald House, which continues to be the most amazing place.

We are not in intensive care, just regular care, and we’re hopeful we won’t be here too terribly long. With the stomach issues, it really is a waiting game — and a long game that will continue even when we leave the hospital.

Hopefully home again soon.
