Home Sweet Home

Kaelyn was able to come home last night. She is on IV Antibiotics with a PICC line in her arm. Home is as good of a medicine as anything, I think. She has been walking around playing her Age of Empires and dressing up our cat, Mickey-Belle. I think she is very happy to be home. She also slept very well. Nothing like home.

She continues to get better and better. She should be able to go back to school within a few weeks. She really misses her teacher and friends there.

I am so happy to have her and I home. Hopefully this surgery will be the fix that works long term.

Lots of love to everyone,

Angie

Much Better

We figured out a good regimen of pain meds for Kaelyn and she is doing much better today. She is up and walking a little bit and also playing and smiling some. Right now she is playing Candy Land with Jacob. He is such a good big brother. I am amazed by him. Kaelyn is finally starting to look like herself again. We are getting some of the excess fluid off of her and she is back to her rosy pink self. It sounds like if we can get her electrolyte balance and IV antibiotic dose more in control than we may get to go home tomorrow! Very exciting!

Thanks for all of your prayers and help throughout these past few weeks. We take one day at a time, but without Him, even that can be too much to handle.
