The neurologist came in to see Kyara again today. She responded better to painful stimuli and her reflexes were intact. This is a positive change from yesterday when Kyara was evaluated. Kyara is still in a coma-like state. Appparently the medical field doesn't use the word "coma" anymore. She is still not opening her eyes when we call her name or obey to obey any commands (like squeeze my hand, open your eyes, etc). The neurologist said that patients can get worse from days 3-6 before getting better. Most of the patients that get worse (days 3 - 6) usually don't get better (days 1 -3 ), so hopefully Kyara will not slip back any. We only want to take steps forward! The neurologist is not giving us any predictions on Kyara's healing time or state she will be in. We still have a very long road ahead. We pray for complete recovery!
I miss my Kyara so much. Many people have asked how I am doing, and to be honest, I am a complete basketcase, I'm scared and worried about Kyara's brain function. No one can give me the answers I want to hear and I am begging to hear someone say...She is going to be fine. I trust in the Lord and the plan he has for her. I pray that his plan is the same as mine!
The comments have been so uplifting. Thank you all for the continued prayers and positive thoughts. Please keep them up as Kyara needs all the help she can get.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "When it is dark enough, you can see the stars." Know that Kyara has many people praying for her, and she will prevail. While the night seems dark now, we pray for many, many stars in your future.

Every little step is one in the right direction - which is forward... it's great that she's reacting to painful stimuli.... You all have many people praying for you here... and not a moment goes by that you're not in our thoughts...
We lift up the entire Dzenis family to the Good Lord, and ask for complete recovery for sweet Kyara. I believe in miracles, and I am asking God for a miracle.

I got a phone call today about Kyara. Oh Genie I can not imagine the pain and heartbreak you all have been going through. Your daughter is so precious. I pray that the Lord has the same plan for her that you do. May your family have all but strength at this time. God Bless and Take Care.
Your Friend Always,

All the nurses in Atlanta, that have had the joy of knowing and loving the Dzenis' and sweet Kyara are praying. Come on Kyara, you're a fighter! Fight.
Hello, I am Melissa. I am hygienist who works with Mandy. She told me of your story some time ago and has been keeping me updated with the past few days. Missy also has kept me updated. I pray for Kyara and that God may give her strength to recover. I also pray for you and your husband. During times like this is when many parents question. I pray God will give both of you the strength to accept his will, whatever the outcome along with his comfort and peace. Just think now, look how much love is being created in the name of your daughter. Love and prayers from total strangers. These are truly blessings!
I pray both you and your husband will be able to feel all of the love and will find strength from all of the prayers.
God Bless you all,
Melissa Trebuchon
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11. Though we've shed tears of sadness for all of you today, we truly believe in God and His word. We have lifted Kyara up to many in our prayer circles and a candle was lit and a special prayer of healing, hope, and peace was said in Kyara's honor at our church service this evening. Genie and Gunars, for you both we pray that God gives you strength to carry on with hope in your heart and that He gives you peace in knowing that you have done nothing but give every ounce of love that you have to your precious little girl and that's all that can be asked of you and all that you can ask of yourselves. Stay strong - Kyara needs you! We love you!

We love you guys and continue to pray with you for complete recovery. We are praying God showers you with the peace that passes all understanding through what we know is the toughest time you have ever faced. Your blog is so encouraging. Kyara will respond soon and will once again amaze us with her incredible strength! She comes from two of the strongest people we've ever known.
Thanks for keeping us updated.
Love,
Josette and Laurie
We keep praying, Our thoughts are with your family and we pray for a complete recovery for Kyara. Be strong, as you have been. Love, Barry and Linda
hello, you don't know me, but Missy and Allen are my neighbors and asked me to pray, and I have prayed for God's healing for Kyara. I have asked my church to add their prayers. I know God is able to bountifully answer prayers.
Genie,
I know right now is a tough time for you and your family. It feels like you are having a terrible nightmare and all you want to do is wake up and realize that it was only that...a nightmare and everything is ok. I have been through scary times like this and my family and I are praying for Kyara and your entire family. I have read your blogs and from what I read...she is STRONG...you are STRONG. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. You have a ton of people that love your daughter and are lifting her up in prayer. In the name of Jesus I lift her up right now. I pray for healing over her entire body. I pray that she would wake up and be healed. In the name of Jesus I pray for wisdom over the doctors and nurses. I pray for an overflowing of peace over you and Gunars. I pray for Kyara's sisters. In the name of Jesus we lift Kyara up.
As I was reading your blog the verse that kept coming to my mind was "Trust in the Lord with all your heart-lean not on your own understandings. In all of your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your path straight. Don't worry about tomorrow he's got it under control. Just trust in the Lord with all your heart and he will carry you through." Proverbs 3:5-6... There is a song that keeps coming to mind and I wish that I could sing it to you but here are the words...Peace be still Jehova God is with you...Peace be still Jehova is Lord...Peace be still Jehova God is with you..Jehova is Lord of All... The Lord will see Kyara through this. Be strong and hold on to faith. Kyara is blessed to have a mother like you. The prayers will keep going.

P.S. I went to school with Gunars in Venezuela...he might remember Leonie De Leon.
Genie,
Your words in your blog are so raw and transparent. Every update brings me to tears, yet inspires me. You truly are an amazing mother and an inspiration to me to love our babies and be thankful for what we have. May your precious girl be lifted with the prayers sent. We are praying for heavily. - Sara O'Dell

Hello! I'm Missy's and Allen's next door neighbor, Steve.
Please hear my prayer, oh Lord.
Lord, I pray that Kyara will be touched by your healing hands, that the doctors, nurses, and caregivers will be guided by your presence, and that your will be done. May the entire Dzenis family feel the warmth, comfort, and safety of your arms wrapped around them now and forever more.
As You reveal your plan, provide them hope as they seek to understand.
In your Son's name I pray. Amen.
Remember, the sun always shines after a storm.
May God continue to bless you all!
The prayers are coming and will continue! God is good, all the time and He holds delicate Kyara in His hands!
Please know we are thinking of y'all so much.
Love,

That is GREAT news, Genie! Kyara is moving in the right direction and hopefully all of our prayers will be answered. The road is long, but even the longest journey starts with the first step. All we can hang to is each other and our hope. Stay strong!

Your family has been lifted up in prayer by the White Oak Elementary family. My heart goes out to you and Kyara. Love, Marianne (Cindy's friend)
I'm praying for a miracle in your case. I know how hard it is to see that little person lying in the hospital. My daughter didn't go through nearly as much as yours, but God blessed her with a full recovery. I'm praying the same for you all. May God bless you and your family with the strength needed to endure throughout this difficult time. God bless you.

Genie,
We are thinking of Kyara, you, Gunners, Skylar, and Cassie always. We love you and are believing in the best. Y'all have a lot of people behind you, and it's always good to have people in your corner. If there is anything we know, you and Kyara fight a good fight. We are all cheering you on.
Love,
Matt. Amy, and Mickey
My name is Melissa and I work with Mandy as a hygienist also. She introduced me to Missy. With Mandy and Missy, I have been following your story. I have been praying for Kyara and now I pray for you and your husband. It is times like these we are left to question. My prayers for you and your husband is that God gives you the strength to accept His will.(Which many times is hard) Feel all the love and the many prayers that are being showered upon Kyara and your family. Love from many complete strangers. Kyara and her situation is creating love, concern, compassion all around her and from many miles away. Really, she is doing God's work here. I pray all of this love will start to bring both you and your husband peace.
May God bless you both.
Checking in several times daily and praying without ceasing. We are lifting you all up.
love,
Clara, Chip, Calder and Livvy
Dear Gunars,
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family and for Kyara to stay strong and persevere through this trying time in your lives. God bless, triccia
We have added Kyara to 2 prayer chains, one in Miss and one in Texas. Prayers from Texans count twice. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Kyara:
This is Caroline. I was in Ms. Kari & Ms. Holly's class with you last year. I just heard at church today that you are in the hospital. I am praying for you, Kyara! I ask God to heal you and make your Mommy and Daddy strong as they wait.
Great story as for me. It would be great to read a bit more about that theme. Thank you for posting that data.
