Last night Bunny stayed with Kyara. I would love to say that she slept through the night like a baby, but that was not the case. She did do something else like a baby; she had a MAJOR blow-out of her "hospital pants". I know talking about poop is probably not the best subjects, but I have a point here. She slept great until she pooped at about 10:30 pm. Then she didn't sleep at all the rest of the night. I said I had a point, I didn't say it was a good one. :) Poor Bunny was up all night while I snoozed in a bed at the RMH. I feel a little guilty about that.
So therapy today was not that terrific in terms of moving and stuff, but on a positive note, she has begun to moan and groan in protest again. She had stopped making sounds last week or so, and it was encouraging to hear her moan again. In speech therapy we listened to the tape from Willis Road with all of her classmates and teachers talking to her (thanks again Ms. Carllisle and Ms. Laurie) and the speech therapist used a sucker to try tastes on Kyara. She didn't respond much, but she was tired. In PT/OT the Doctors came through to observe and were pleased with her gaze. Although she doesn't seem to be seeing anything or tracking with her eyes, she was not rolling her eyes back in her head or staring at the ceiling the whole time, either. Baby steps.
The computer is about to shut down for maintenance, so I will continue later....

Thanks for the update! We love those baby steps. She is amazing! Please give our love to everyone and we are praying that all of you, and especially Kyara, get some rest tonight.
Love you all!

The strength of your family is inspiring. I think of Kyara often--happy to hear that she is improving little by little each day. Much love to all, hang in there!
Dear Genie, there will be days where there seems to be not much improvements, but there are. Kyara is slowly getting better, taking baby steps, as she well should, for we all want her to get back to her old self, but not a day too soon. Hang in there, we're here praying for her continued recovery.
Happy Valentine's Day in advance... we will carry you in our thoughts throughout the weekend.
Hey Dzenis family!
Great to read of each baby step. Each one is a step in the right direction.
Tell Skylar we hope that hand is okay!
We wanted to make sure you know we check on y'all daily and you all are in our prayers as well as all of the Karate Classes!
Keep up the great work Kyara.. We love ya sweetie..
Angela & James
I am so glad to hear that Kyara is at least moaning. That means she is not happy with all the PT/OT. I think if the Dr.'s can figure out the right "cocktail" of meds, she will SOON get some sleep. Please tell her that I LOVED MY VALENTINES CARD!!!! This is one that I will keep forever. Hang in there, I know it is tough, but you also need sleep and food, so you can be as strong as Kyara! Love you guys and can't wait to see you back here where you belong!
Ms. Michelle
