It's Friday and Kylie Sue is going home!

It seems like each hour Kylie just gets better and better. People are praying from one side of this country to the other and He has answered. One of the most awesome blessings has been Kylie's positive attitude. She is so at ease to tell you that she is "just better." "It's just different this time," is said quite a lot in room 338.

The doc came in this morning and was very pleased that Kylie has cleared the last few things off her "To Do" list in order to leave the hospital. The pain is totally under control. She is taking one pain pill by mouth and alternating that with Motrin. This seems to keep her very comfortable and she is highly functional. Her appetite has been very good, and has had absolutely no nausea. The incisions are healing well...just all around doing great!

HEB sponsored a Trick-or-Treat event and Fall Festival at the Children's Hospital. She had a great time and was up and around inside and outside for about 2 hours. Typically after being up for any length of time will leave her with an excruciating headache. When they got back to the room she said she only had a minor headache and laid down to rest. This is a HUGE improvement! Karli said this event was wonderful the kids got all kinds of goodies like soap, hygiene items, shoes, shirts, and much more. This event was definitely geared towards items kids and families would need while in the hospital. It brought Karli to tears to see all the kindness and generosity of others.

If nothing changes Kylie will be home later this afternoon. She is not going to be allowed to go out for Halloween (thankfully she got to go today). If you are out with your kids trick-or-treating stop by the Reagan's and get some of Kylie treats.

Karli will continue this blog to keep everyone informed about Kylie's recovery. It was an honor to be able to help her pass along this information. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank each and every person who has prayed, sent cards, helped with Joshua, and on and on and on. My sister and her family are blessed to have so many wonderful friends.
