Kayla was discharged from the hospital yesterday! Hooray! She is now resting comfortably in her own bed and the two of us got the best night of sleep last night that we’ve had in quite a while. Her incision site is still very sore, but she is otherwise doing well. We both just got up… Continue reading Home sweet home
After throwing up ALL DAY on Monday, the medical team did an abdominal x-ray and found that Kayla had a blockage in one of her bowels because it hadn’t started working again since the surgery last Wednesday. Great, we thought, we finally know why Kayla has been so sick. The treatment: a nasal feeding tube.… Continue reading She pooped!

Her recovery has been riddled with complications: -Severe pain -Severe nausea -Delirium from being over-medicated because of her severe pain and nausea It would be easy… Continue reading Pissed as hell

Regardless of what happens… Continue reading Surgery Eve Party

Two days before Kayla’s second surgery, I want to tell you… Continue reading How are you?
I added 26.2 (and 5K) to my running carrot tattoo last night: With everything going on right now, I debated putting it off, but I had the appointment made weeks before we found out about Kayla’s illness and I decided to go ahead and get it done before Kayla has her surgery next week. This… Continue reading Tattoo of courage and strength
We didn’t start out the weekend in a fun way. Late Friday afternoon, Kayla started having intense stomach pain. I was at work, but luckily my husband was home and so he called the doctor’s office and the nurse instructed him to take Kayla to the ER, since it was too late in the day… Continue reading Friday night ER visit
