Over all though it has been a wonderfully uneventful (hospital) month for us. Kaelyn has not had to be admitted to the hospital for almost two months. She is doing so great! Kaelyn herself has not been uneventful though. She has learned to walk!!!!! What a wonderful Christmas present for all of us! She is just toddling around now, getting into anything and everything. It is so cute watching her short little legs shuffle around. What entertainment! She also has been working on a head of hair. It seems to grow some every night! Her eyebrows are dark and very full and her head hair is, I think, going to be a light brown color. She looks so great! She also has surprised all of her physicians. On her last clinic visit Dr. Healey confided in me that he thought she would be having serious problems by now with the bile ducts. He figured she would be having infection and jaundice and be heading for her second transplant by now. But, as far as we can tell at this point she is well. Her labs are stabilizing some, still high but not climbing any higher and her health has been amazingly well. So, for now the plan is to still have her listed but not accept any organ offers until something changes in her health or her labs start to sky rocket upward. That was wonderful news to us! It sure has been a good month. I believe that we have been blessed with the miracle of a little more time. What a blessing!!
Jacob sure has had a great time having us all together too. We all had a marvelous Christmas. I think we all needed the time to be together without the looming threat of hospitalization. It was just wonderful. We also are just loving our new home! It is so great that Adele (Wade's sister) lives just two doors down. The kids are having a great time with their cousins and I love having the company during the day. It is also very comforting knowing that Adele is their to help us when the times get tough. She is wonderful!
I hope all of you had a great Christmas season. We sure love you and I am going to try to keep the site updated more often now that we have our computer up again.
Love to all,
Angie
