Kari Update

Good Afternoon!
     I hope that everything is going well with you all.  Kari came home on Tuesday, even earlier in the day that we thought.  I think that she was a bit overwhelmed by the transition.  I think she and the rest of the family had different expectations.  I think Kari maybe thought that once she was home we would leaver her alone.  As soon as I got home on Tuesday I went to get her out of bed to eat with me, she didn't want to get up, I had to fight with her a bit...and then she said, "Where's the hospital?" I was a bit confused and she said, "Cuz you keep messing with me." She was so wrong for that!  Anyway, we've all moved on and she's really adjusting pretty well.
     My mom finally had a good nights sleep last night, the first time since Kari has been home. Praise God!  Kari has had all her evaluations for all her therapies as of this morning, and she actually begins speech this afternoon at 2.  My mom and I have been dealing with a bit of anxiety and feeling overwhelmed to say the least, but God is so faithful and has been so good.  All we can do is just stay in Him, get out of His way.  He continues to give us grace for each moment.  As the week as gone on things have gotten much smoother!  Thank you for praying for Kari and us.
She is still having issues with her sight.  Her dizziness has decreased, Hallelujah! She was also taken off of her anti-seizure medication, keppra, because of some side affects - the doctor thinks that that medicine might have been what was causing her white blood cells to drop as welll as some other interesting side-affects of her feeling like bugs were crawling on her.  Since she has been off she hasn't had any issues, but we must be prayerful that she won't have any seizures.  We are believing that God will complete what he began.  
Have a great weekend!
Be blessed
Kaziah
