HAPPY THANKSGIVING


We are so thankful for our friends and family. You have given us so much support and love, we are a very lucky family. We are thankful for the prayers you have sent on behalf of Kyara. I truly believe that each of you have played an important part in Kyara's recovery! We have been decorating Kyara's room with the wonderful cards and artwork that she has been receiving! This picture shows the second wave of cards we have put up. We took the old ones down. We are thankful for our good health and for the health of our friends and family. For those of you who are battling different health issues such as breast cancer, colds, and boils on your butt (these are all illnesses that either a family member or friend is dealing with), we pray that you will recover quickly. I am so happy to have my girls, Gunars, and my mom here for the holiday. I wish we were back home eating some yummy deep fried turkey, but we will be there soon enough. Please be safe during this holiday season!


Kyara is healing like she should and making progress. Kyara had her back drain tube removed and the mediastinal tube pulled back some today. The doctors are predicting having the mediastinal tube removed by the end of the weekend. She also had NO FEVER last night. This is HUGE! I have a guarded excitement about these updates. Kyara appears to be on her way to recovery, but I must prepare myself for any set backs. The doctors said that we will still have to work on getting her strength back, weaning her off medications, and learning to eat again. Not that she has forgotten how to eat, but the anatomy is different. We will see how it goes. I understand it will be a long process but overall it is all looking good.

Happy Thanksgiving crew! It's great to hear that Kyara continues to progress. Before long she will be eating whatever she wants. I'm thankful to have friends/family that still maintain an optomistic attidude and outlook even in the face of adversity. That brings hope to many. Have a great holiday and hope to see you soon.

Genie,
Gunars, Skylar, Kassey, and Kyara. Happy Thanksgiving! We are thinking of you all and know you are having the best of Thanksgivings because you are all together. Hang in there, next year Kyara will be eating turkey and dressing along with everyone else. Love you. Uncle Bill and Aunt Joanne

Happy Thanksgiving to you guys. Despite the difficulties this year... and in the recent weeks, I truly believe you have TONS to be thankful for... and yes... HEALTH is one of them. Kyara has had a tough time, but her health is coming back in full force. Skylar is a model child and sister... and be thankful for her.. for being who she is... be thankful for Kassey's perfect development. Be thankful for your and Gunars' relationship and love... here in Miami... we are thankful to be alive... to be healthy and to have each other... and while we will celebrate a bit late this year... we WILL celebrate every waking moment we have together.

enjoy each other.

Lots of love,
Tina, Carlos, Nico and Bailey (the dog)... :-)

It is a blessing to have you all in our lives. You have taught us all to be thanksful for love of family and friends, trust in doctors and caretakers, grace under fire and most of all having faith in our Lord. You are all a true inspiration. So glad Kyara is on the mend. We were all so excited to hear the news. Love to you - The Fields
