Kyara is back in her room after having her esophagus successfully dilated this morning. I would like to say I was strong and held it all together, but that would be a lie. I cried like a baby when they took her back. I cried in the waiting room as I waited for her. I cried when anyone asked how I was doing. Phew. That is alot of crying. Then, after only 30 minutes, my buzzer rang. When you check-in in the waiting room they give you a buzzer like when you are waiting at a restuarant. Then, then when the doctor is ready to tell you something, they buzz you. So, I got the buzz. The lady at the desk didn't tell me anything other than the doctor wants to talk to you. Oh!! That's what they said last time, too. Then they led me back to the SAME room that they put me in when Kyara had her arrest. When I peeked around the corner I didn't see any of our old PICU nurses waiting for me, so I took a deep breath. Dr. Coran came in after a few minutes and said that the dilation went GREAT! In fact, it looks "perfect." He doesn't think she will need anymore dilations in the future, either (we will keep our fingers crossed!) This is great news, so I guess out of relief I started to cry AGAIN. Wow, Dr. Coran didn't know what to do with me! I let him off the hook, told him I was just happy she is fine and asked if I could get out of that room. So I went back to the waiting area and waited for Kyara to wake and get ready to go back to her room.
I am thrilled things went well this morning. Thank you God for watching out for Kyara and for guiding the doctors hands. Dr. Coran said the leak she had has completely healed and she looks great. Thank you God. I am also mad/sad. We now have a great esophagus/stomach, which is what we were hoping for months ago, but now I have a child with brain damage. Ironic? No, that's not the right word. What is the right word? And how should I feel about this? I am going to chose hopeful. I am hopeful that Kyara will continue to recover from the anoxic injury and will be able to use her "perfect" esophagus/stomach to eat real food.
Thank you for all of the prayers! I know in my heart that they helped Kyara this morning and everyday for the past few months. Thank you all!

My name is Kylie, and I'm a 1st grade teacher and graduate student at UWG. On my homepage, I noticed a benefit for Kyara, and I spent the evening reading all about Kyara. I just wanted to let you know that I was touched by your sweet daughter's battle, and I have been praying for you and your family. May you find a bit of comfort in the prayers of strangers! God bless!!
We are so happy that everything went well today. We continue to pray for Kyara and your family. Give her a kiss from Kyle.

Hopeful is a great choice. We hope with you and join with you in prayer and as hopeful as the one who reached just to touch the hem of Jesus' garment. God is good! Bro. Bruce, Good Hope Baptist Church
Genie, great news that her esophagus is cleared up... Keep saying that to Kyara so that she fights harder to "wake up" and start eating real food... I hope you enjoy your weekend with your entire family together and continue keeping your hope strong that Kyara will start making great strides in her recovery.
We continue to pray for you, from all parts of Miami (not just my house)... you have lots of people here praying hard for your entire family.
Love,
Tina, Carlos & Nico
