Kyara is scheduled to go down for her scope sometime this afternoon. They have "called" for her, so it should be within the hour. About 2 hours ago, Kyara started having difficulty breathing. The nurse gave her oxygen and a breathing treatment. Although her oxygen levels came back up, she was really having to work to breath. She was also not as responsive as she has been. The nurse paged the doctors and they came straight up to her room. They were not happy with the way she looked and decided to intubate (put the breathing tube back in) again. She would have been intubated in the operating room anyway, but they wanted to go ahead and secure her airway now, before anything gets any worse. It was not an emergency, but it was urgent. The doctors will replace the NG tube (if they can) and possibly do a light dilation on her esophagus at the suture line because it appears it has strictured down. Luckily, I am reassured that this kind of strictures respond well with dilation, unlike the strictures she had from the chemical ingestion. Tomorrow the radiologist will try to put in some drains in her back to remove the new pockets of fluid that have develop in her chest cavity.
So, right now I am waiting... all day I have been waiting...waiting to hear some good news.

Genie: Hang in there, waiting is so hard. Just remember that Kyara is a very strong little girl and that she is due for some good news. Know that we are all there for you and are keeping your whole family in our prayers. We love you all. Uncle Bill and Aunt Joanne
Genie, I know this is hard but don't get down. This is a small bump in the road to recovery. She will begin to have good days soon and all this will be just a thing in the past. We continue to root for her and the whole family!

Genie,
I just wanted to let you know that we love you all & Kyara. I've been reading your posts to Gracie everyday & she constantly asks how Kyara is doing. I cannot imagine how tough this is, it may be even harder than when she had the accident, but Kyara has held strong for the past 2 years & is still going to hold strong. Its hard, as a mother, to be strong for your kids when all you feel like doing is breaking down, but she gets a part of her strength from you & she will get better. Kyara has a very big purpose on this earth & she hasn't fulfilled that yet. She has already touched so many lives, but she is no where near done! We are praying for God to send you some good news & to keep Kyara safe & to give her, & your family, strength & an unexplained peace throughout all this. We look forward to having you home & celebrating the new life that Kyara will have because of this surgery.
Love You,
Allison & Gracie
