Today is our last day in the hospital! After four whole weeks we are more than ready for home. I have to say, though, that a lot of those helping us with Kaylie's care throughout this journey now seem like part of the family. Florida Hospital for Children has done a great job making this experience as easy as possible.
Kaylie has been on a steroid for the past several days to correct the cause of the fever. It has done its job -no fever at all today and yesterday was only 99- but apparently one side effect is increased appetite. Increased is an understatement! The poor girl eats until she's about to pop then asks for more! She can afford to put some meat on her bones though.
Tomorrow begins the next chapter: rehab. I've heard Brooks is the best. I've also heard they are "intense" and "push" their patients, so prayers are appreciated...for the therapists. 😀 Seriously though, Kaylie needs to be "pushed" at this point. But she can be very stubborn and requires a lot of patience and animation to get her to do something she doesn't want to do. Lord willing, and with His help and strength, she should get to go home before the end of the month.
