We came home from the hospital on Saturday afternoon. We will meet with the pediatric urologist when he gets back in the country. He will probably administer a test to look at her kidney functions and then determine the next step. Meanwhile, we are continuing antibiotic treatment at home.
Sunday morning, I (Elise) woke up Jon and told him that I thought we had another rat in our house. He told me to go back to bed and then 20 minutes later I told him to get up and check. Sure enough, we had a little critter. This time it was a mouse and not a rat. If I am honest with myself, I will admit he was a pretty cute little booger.
We then began devising a plan to catch him that involved the swing box from the previous day’s purchase. Jon wanted to somehow catch him in the box and then assure that he couldn’t get back in our house. Jon told me I would be safe in our tiny little bathroom since it is a level up from the bedroom, so I retreated in there for safety. Sure enough, the thing ran into the bathroom and I jumped up on the toilet. I must admit….I was pretty nimble! Jon ended up catching the mouse within 10 minutes and…ahem…made sure it wouldn’t come back. Never a dull moment here in Peru.

Hi Jon, Elise & Lilia, It’s great to see your pictures & how Lilia is growing. What a sweetie! We will sure be praying that her kidneys will start working as a team & do the job right. What an adventure with Mickey Mouse, too. I can empathize.
Love, Bruce & Marg
