Clostridium difficile
Scarlett has Clostridium difficile or better known as "C. Diff." This is why she was having flu-like symptoms of weakness, fever, dehydration and diarrhea. We were told that if a patient is left untreated, they can die from it. Death is rare but still very scary! They are putting Scarlett on antibiotics so that should clear everything up. Thank goodness for the GI department at Phoenix Children's Hospital. They have treated Scarlett like she is one of their own.

SOOOOO glad you guys are home and that treatment worked and fast!!! I know one particular GI doc at PCH that has a very special soft spot for Scarlett :)
Thank God for doctors, where would we be without them. Thank you & Ryan and especially Scarlett for hanging in there. She is such a little fighter!! Please kiss her for me and tell her Gramma loves her very much.
