A good night's rest

Finally, Kyara has had a pretty good night. She did not have the difficulties she has been having the past few nights. When the nurse would suction out her breathing tube, Kyara would struggle some, but then she went right back to sleep. The past few nights it had been very traumatic and she had a hard time settling back down, so this is a major improvement!

Today at 12:00 she will be going for a swallow study to see how the surgery went. I am excited to see the results. So far she has not leaked from the incision site, so that has been encouraging. Again, the doctors said it normally leaks between day 7 and day 9. We are at day 7 now, so keep your fingers crossed!

This weekend we had a family visit us that we have never met. They are friends of one of Gunars' bosses. Jeannie was so very sweet. She brought some beautiful flowers and opened her home to us if we need/want an escape. I am amazed by the generosity and love that is being showered on us. You know, most of what we see on the news is about how horrible people are... murders, child abductions, arson, robbery, etc. If you didn't know better, you would think that is the way most of society is. But, really, most people are warm, considerate, loving people. I wish that was focused on more.

Thank you all for your love, warmth, thoughts, and prayers. It is not lost on us.

This is GREAT news!!! Kyara is turning the corner now... thank God. Genie, you are right... the news always focuses on the terrible things that humans can do... and rarely do they show us how good we can be... I think it's wonderful that you and your family are being showered with love and prayers... it's your time now to receive the love... and I know that some day when someone else needs it, you will be the first ones out there giving them love and affection...this is when we realize how good humans can truly be... STAY STRONG KYARA!!!! You're turning into Super Girl!
