NG Tube Removed Yesterday


Yesterday was pretty big for Kyara. The doctors removed the nasogastric (NG) tube that was draining her stomach. She is not gagging and dry heaving as much now that this tube is gone. So, one nostril is free, one to go! Kyara has been very active playing on the WII and the Nintendo Game Cube in the activity room. Her personality is back full force most of the time. She has been in a much better mood! We are really just waiting around now. She still has the thrush which is NASTY! We clean her mouth every 4 hours and still it grows back. It looks like white curtains hanging from the roof of her mouth to her tongue. It is thick and sticky, gross stuff. Anyway, this should be responding to the medications soon, so we are just waiting around until then.

I will try to post a new picture later, I can't do it at the hospital anymore.

Awesome news! The thrush will go away and then she will be eating again! I am soo glad that she is getting back to "Kyara". Hopefully you will all be back here soon.

Kyara looks very pretty, smiling!!!!
I am so happy that her return to Sharpsburg is just around the corner and be with her big and little sister.
Let's hope for the next test her esophagus is completely closed.
But for now she is enjoying her tri-cycle rides and the swing. Big kiss
