Family Together Again!

Last night Gunars and Skylar got in. I was overjoyed to see them, hug and kiss them! It has been tooooooo long! Today we plan to take Skylar and Kassey swimming at the local YMCA and then to Chuckie Cheese. Nothing like spoiling Skylar while I have the chance.

Kyara is still resting comfortably. When she poops, she gets very upset. Her face wrinkles, her tone kicks in, and she looks like she is crying. I wonder if the air in her colon is still hurting her or if she just doesn't like to poop in the diapers. She also gets upset when the respiratory therapists have to adjust her tape. It is on her face and she doesn't like them pulling it off. After a while, though, she settles back down.

The doctors are still weaning Kyara off medications and hopefully by the end of next week we will have a better handle on her meds. I pray the colon continues to get better and that Kyara improves. I pray that as they wean the ativan drip, she does not start storming again and that the doctors find the right combination of drugs to reduce her tone. God is good and I believe he is giving Kyara a fresh start.

Genie and Gunars,
We are happy to hear that the family is together again. It is great that you can lean on each other again. We pray for physical healing over Kyara and that her brain will form new channels of development. Blessings over your entire family and God's favor. We love you all, Spokane
