I wanted to let you know that Kylie is doing really good today. She had a rough night last night with a lot of pain. The doc told Karli today that is to be expected as they put a nerve block in at surgery that wears off about 24 hours post op. Here's some of the good news about her progress...
- The IV meds have been discontinued. She has to be able to tolerate the meds orally and then she can go home.
- She is eating well and has no nausea at all.
- She had a scan and it appears the shunt is in the right place and all looks GREAT!
- If she has a good day and continues to improve she can go home tomorrow!
- This morning she received 62 get well cards via the Dell Children's ecards. She has been so excited to hear all the well wishes and prayers from her friends and family.
With Kylie possibly going home tomorrow she is well aware that Saturday is Halloween. She begged the doc to allow her to trick or treat, but he said the risk of falling and injury is just too high. Her plans are to be at home handing out candy, so if you are out trick-or-treating STOP BY! She misses her house and all her friends and family.
Please keep Kylie in your prayers, she still has a long way to go to recovery. We are praying some of the recovery problems she had with the last surgery won't be an issue this time since the shunt appears to be draining properly. It's in God's hands now.
Thankful for all the prayers and especially all the ANSWERED prayers...
