The Princess, Back in the Joint

Sophie apparently can't get enough of the local hospital.  Today, she was admitted for her 2nd time in a month.  Seems to be a recurrence of the lung infection she had about 4 weeks ago.

Somehow, the diagnosis "severe pneumonia" is not exactly comforting.  But at least she looks better than she did last time, isn't having breathing problems to the same extent as before and generally seems on the mend already.  

Within a few hours of being admitted and put on an antibiotic IV drip, her breath rate had improved, her O2 level had jumped from 95 to 98, and her heart rate had evened out. 

Above is a photo of her and our part-time nanny, Priscilla, who stopped by for a visit at the hospital this afternoon.  Even feeling under the weather, The Princess knows a photo-op when she sees one.
