Gunars and Skylar made it home safely tonight. They had to wait for 45 minutes in Atlanta on the runway until a gate was open, but they made it home and I am thankful for that! We had a very nice weekend together. I was thrilled to get to have them for one more day, today. As always, I was sad to see them leave. Next weekend, Gunars is going to come back up, but Skylar is going to spend the weekend with Uncle Allen and Aunt Missy. She is looking forward to "sleeping in Curtis, Ansley, and Zoe's room. Preston can't sleep with us 'cause he is too little. If Zoe doesn't go to sleep, Uncle Allen and Aunt Missy take her back to her room. Then Zoe waits until they are asleep and comes back to Curtis' room. Hehehe!!!" I think they are in for a fun weekend! Thanks Allen and Missy!

Kyara had a pretty good weekend. Last night was tough, though. She slept until 2:00am and then was awake the rest of the night. My dad stayed with her, sorry Dad. Therapy today was more of the usual. She did cry some with Dan and Donna. It was a different noise than the usual groaning and growling, so it was exciting. She only did it once or twice, but hopefully it is the beginning of new things to come.

We also have a new batch of doctors. The Pediatric Surgery attending (head) doctor changes every week. The residents change every month, so we have new residents that will be working on Kyara. We also have new PM&R (Rehab) doctors. Our last doctor left for maternity leave and the new one spent some time this afternoon getting to know Kyara. Don't you know, she came while I was taking Gunars and Skylar to the airport. That figures. I have high expectations for the new docs...I hope they are up the challenge. Dr. Rita (PM&R) seems to be on the ball, so I look forward to having a fresh pair of eyes on Kyara. We will see where it all goes....
