I was so sad to see them leave. I hate taking Gunars and Skylar back to the airport. It is so hard to say goodbye. I am really anxious to get back to Georgia so that we can be closer again! Overall, though, we had a good weekend. Skylar and I went to the Y on Sunday to swim and Gunars spent time with Kyara. When it was time to pick him up to go to the airport, she turned her head toward him. She was sad to see him leave. This is the good and the bad. She is aware of what was happening, and she did not like it.
I stayed with her last night, and it was a bit rough. The doctors are going down on Kyara's sedation medication, and she did not sleep very well last night. I am hoping they will get this figured out! Today they are planning on switching her from an ativan drip to valium by her jtube. They are going to go up a little on the valium dose so that it is equivalent to her previous ativan drip dose. If all goes well this morning, they are going to take the breathing tube out. Yeah! Her abdominal xray films are looking better, too. The pneumatosis is not obvious anymore, so she is getting better in the colon area. The plan is to start feeds tomorrow. We will see if that happens or not. Sometimes the doctors have plans for the next day, that don't actually happen for a couple of days. I would like for them to start feeding her, but only if she is ready.
This morning I watched the sun rise out of Kyara's window. Wow, it was beautiful. Amazing the painting that God puts on display for us everyday, and most mornings I am not awake or aware of it. It was truly beautiful. God creates miracles each day. I pray Kyara is on His list.

I KNOW Kyara is on His list, as she is on so many of our lists too. It is so encouraging to hear that you are able to see a beautiful sunset and recognize it as a precious gift form God as it is. He is busy painting Kyara's beautiful life as well as the life of getting your family back together again soon, just in the form of "roots and pathways" :) We are glad Gunnars and Skylar made it back safe and you are all in our prayers every day.
God Bless,

I am constantly touched by you, your familys' struggles and by God.
It seems you are getting some small steps forward here lately; let's keep faith that God's plans for Kyara and everyone touched by her continue on this path. Praying for Kyara, you, the family constantly!

Kyara and your entire family has always been on God's "list". All of you have been and will continue to be on our prayer list. Know that you are all loved very much and we cherish your precious family. God is good and He has a plan, this we do know. Much love from Spokane.
Kyara is at the top of God's list and ours!!! He is already at work creating her miracle and yours!!! Keep looking at the beautiful sunrise because there is hope and God gies it to all who ask for it!!!

I am sure Kyara is on his list... She has touched so many of our lives in such a special way and only a person on His list would be able to do that. Keep the faith, keep on believing in miracles!!!
