Hey Ya'll,
how's it going? Hope everyone is doing well. Kari has been improving, Praise God! It was definitely not an abscess as far as the the CAT scan that she had yesterday. She hasn't run a fever all day. They have turned the drain of and she seems to be tolerating the drainage. She'll have another CAT scan tomorrow to make sure that everything is truly going well and to find out if she needs an internal drain, which we are praying won't be needed.
She had Physical Therapy today and her nurse said that she took a few steps forward and a few steps backwards. They feel like she is improving each day, which is awesome. She was able to eat starting yesterday evening, but even there was a lot of coaching she didn't eat much. She even tried take a vote as to who we all that should eat the next bit and we all said "Kari!" of course and she said, "Awww Man!" Today for breakfast she ate 15% of her food and slept the entire 10am visit and then at lunch she was just extremely tired. She was restless last night and didn't sleep much. This evening at 5 we all took turns feeding her, it was difficult and took a lot of praying, encouraging and reaffirming what need to be done to make her eat. We have taken to bribing her with crazy praise, like giving her our best "BRAVO." It works for a little bit. She ate about 45-50% of her food tonight.
She is really showing a lot of personality right now and dare I say a bit of attitude. She is very frustrated, she very alert, but at the same time doesn't completely understand the severity of what's going on with her. She wants so badly to leave the hospital, get out of the bed and even just move her arms and legs freely. I don't blame her, but she's got to get better first.
Thank you so much for praying, loving on us with messages of encouragement and for being a listening ear.
I will sing the LORD's praise, for he has been good to me. ~ Psalm 13:6
God has been so good to us and we will continue to believe that He will continue to be who He is!
Be blessed
