Five-year-old Aubrey Anderson from Hutchinson, Kansas, was released from Wesley Medical Center after being hospitalized for a month with hemolytic uremic syndrome. Aubrey was released from the hospital to recover at home because her mother is a registered nurse.
Public health officials have yet to identify the source of Aubrey’s illness, and she will continue medical follow-up for months to years.
Initial indications were that her kidneys were functioning, so the family is optimistic she’ll make a full recovery.
