Today Kyara had a CT scan and another "swallow study" done to check the leaks and the pus pockets for healing. It was a good day at Mott's, because Kyara is finally on the mend. The doctors said that the pus pockets are much smaller and the leak is shrinking in size as well. Kyara has a drain from her nose (or mouth, right now I can't remember which hole which tube is is in:)!) to her mediastinum that was draining the pus pockets. The doctors are planning to slowly start pulling this tube out. If things go well, the tube will be out on Sunday and they will be able to take her breathing tube out then, too. The doctors are also planning to remove a drain that is in her back tomorrow. So, tubes are coming out! Yeah!!! Kyara is still spiking fevers and the doctors think it could be an infection from her PICC line. This is like an IV that has a long catheter that goes through her vein to her heart (or close to it). The doctors are discussing taking the PICC line out, and I am guessing they will replace it somewhere else.
All in all, it is a good day. Kyara still has a long road ahead of her, but we are going in the right direction. Thank you for all of your love, support, prayers, well wishes, care packages, etc. We are so lucky and blessed to have you in our lives.

"I want Kyara to come to my house to play with me and play in the castle. I miss you and want to give you a hug."
