We got home about 7:00 last evening. Kylie slept wonderfully through the night and ate a great breakfast this morning. She's been having really good output, so everything appears to be working properly. She is playing now and seems to be feeling great. It was truly amazing to see her quick turn-around. She was so so sick. And then to see her perk up so quickly after yesterday's procedure. We are so grateful to the Lord for watching over Kylie.

Good Improvement

Kylie has had a busy day today. She had an x-ray early this morning. That x-ray looked even worse than last night's. Late morning, she had another procedure to see where the obstruction was. They injected a dye into her stoma to find the location of the obstruction. Later, Kylie was sedated right here in her room here for a short procedure. The pediatric surgeon inserted some metal rods into her stoma to dialate the intestine. Dr. Abdessalam thought that some scaring of the intestine had possibly caused it to constrict. Kylie seems to be feeling much better already. She's been sleeping the afternoon away. However, it sounds like we might get out of here tonight! I hope to get a better idea of how she feels when she wakes up.

Please Pray

It is unbelievable how fast things can change around here. Kylie was admitted to Children's this evening with an obstruction. She has been incredibly sick for the past two days. I totally thought she had a bad case of the stomach flu until today when she wasn't getting any better. They put an ng tube in, so your prayers for her comfort would be greatly appreciated. Kaycee is staying with her tonight. I am planning to be up at the hospital bright and early for doctors' rounds. Thank you for uplifting our family in prayer tonight.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! I know it has been a while since I've updated all of you. Kylie is doing just great! We are so thankful that we've been able to stay away from the hospital for over a month now. Over the past month, Kaycee and I have observed the return of Kylie's confidence and sense of security. It is so neat to see the Kylie that we used to know. She's totally back to her normal self and it is so fun to watch her play with her dollies, dress up, sing, help Carson. We have SO much to be thankful for. And she's doing great with changing the tummy bag. Yeah!! Thank you for praying specifically for that. We'll continue to keep you posted.
