BUSY!! BUSY!!

Things here have been BUSY! Gunars and Skylar are here for the weekend, so we have been spending our time with all the girls. Kyara is fine, we are dealing with some personality changes and anger on her part, but she is getting off the drugs, so we are just hanging tight. Here on the floor we are more responsible for Kyara's care, bathing, changing beds, etc. The nurses are very busy, they have 6 or more patients each! In ICU we had one on one attention, so it is quite a change. It must be a difficult job to deal with so many patients and the PARENTS!! I am sure we are bugging them to death!

Kyara is having a swallow test on Wednesday. We pray that the leak is sealed, then we will start feeding by mouth. If the leak is sealed, Kyara has to cooperate with eating by mouth. After all this time, you would think she would be chomping at the bit, but she is still dealing with withdrawals and not much is making her happy right now. As she gets the drugs out of her system, things should get better.

Thank you for your concern, calls, and email. I am sorry I have not posted in the last couple of days. The computer at the Ronald McDonald House was not working yesterday, and as I have said before, things here have been crazy. By the way, did anyone see the SEC Championship Game....GO GATORS!!!

I have my fingers crossed until wednesday, I would like to hear then a miracle, the hole closed and starting to eat by the mouth, that will be a good fantastic day to celebrate. As always my hopes are very high.
Big kisses to the girls.
Love

We continue to pray for all of you. Remember that you are only human. Don't be so hard on yourself. You are acting as any parent would.

The Gators played a GREAT game. Congratulations on the SEC title!
