Day 4 (Actually Day 3 post surgery)

Let me begin today by saying that God has been so good to us and is working in our lives as a family. Thank you all for  praying for us during this difficult time.

I want to also apologize for those who may have been waiting for an update, but last night Kaylie had it rough. I was able to update a little through Facebook.

Yesterday was day 2 post surgery and Kaylie was swollen on her right eye due to surgery. We have been trying to get her to eat and drink a little, since it was Sunday night that she ate last. She started asking for Gold Fish to eat, and of course there are no Gold Fish, however after looking all over LeAnne was able to find peanut butter and cheese crackers. Kaylie was able to eat a few of those.

Kaylie has also been sleepy and lethargic post surgery as well. She has also thrown up several times. Last night we asked for a dr to look at her and he said he wanted to do a CT Scan just to make sure everything was ok, this was about 10pm last night.

Usually Kaylie is all excited about "going for a ride" to get a scan done, but she was so lethargic she had no idea. She doesn't normally lay there either for the scan, but last night we moved her into the scan bed she opened her eyes and then closed them again.

The scan came back and there was no concern and nothing to worry about. LeAnne and I got to bed around midnight and we fell asleep almost instantly.

We awoke this morning to find that Kaylie's other eye is swollen which makes both of her eyes swollen shut. As a parent you feel so helpless in this situation. Every parent is supposed to help their children. 

We know that the third day after surgery is usually the worst and today is only the third day. So, we are trying to remind each other of that. 

A verse that has been a help to me this morning is Psalm 46:10 which says "Be still, and know that I am God..." We are trusting God today for whatever the day holds!
