Today proved to be another full day for Kylie. She rode the wagon down to radiology for an x-ray and was back in her room before the sun had risen. The results from the x-ray looked great. Next, we had our regular visits from the doctors that are following Kylie's case. They were again pleased with her progress. The ileostomy nurse came in today and explained Kylie's procedure to us. I hope to give all of you an explanation in the next couple of days. We also had visits from physical therapy and occupational therapy. Kylie is not strong enough to walk yet and also needs assistance with sitting up. We are thankful for the suggestions they have given us to help Kylie regain some strength. Kylie's surgery is scheduled for 7:00 am on Monday morning. This is earlier than we had expected, so we are thrilled.
Kaycee is spending the night with Kylie tonight. We would appreciate your prayers for a restful night for the both of them. We just found out tonight that Kylie's sleep deprivation and restlessness are as a result of the steroids she is on. Poor baby. Our hope and prayer is that by Tuesday she will be finished with the course of steroids.

We are so glad to hear of all the progress in the last couple of days. Praise GOD! We will pray that GOD will comfort Kylie and be her refuge as her little mind processes these past few weeks. We would like to come and visit in the morning. We have something special to give to Kylie. Much love, the Estudillo's
How encouraging to see our prayers being answered. Seeing progress and a plan of action can bring relief and hope through the long tiring days and nights. Our Amanda was 2 years old when she had emergency surgery to remove a part of her small intestine that was dying. She has no memory of it. I really believe that having mom or dad with her gives her the comfort and security that will not allow any of the painful memories to be harmful to her. She trusts you just as you are trusting the Lord whom you know is beside you protecting and holding you up. When she is feeling all well and whole again she will love life to the fullest even more! Won't we all!
Blessings, Barb and Steve Pierce
Lord, have mercy on Kylie, your child...you know her innermost being. I pray that you would protect her from harmful emotional effects from what she has gone through...she can't understand right now, but you can help her process this later, in your perfect timing...guide the doctors and hold Kaycee & Jill in your righteous right hand, comforting them and giving them the confidence that you love and care about their little family...give Kylie rest--the kind that only YOU can give & give Kaycee & Jill the peace that passes all understanding..calm their hearts and renew them with your strength. In the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus who died that we might LIVE!
