Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Hi there Everybody!! Just taking a break. The library here in the hospital is so nice. I'm glad it is open today. First off please let me thank you all for your prayers. Mo is doing awesome. Also thanks for sending the little notes back to me. I do read them and they bring me a much needed smile. I'm pretty much her 24 hour nurse here, so it's nice to have a break and remind myself of the world outside these walls, and more importantly, home. Now for the update. It is cold and dreary here, but not like Kansas, so no whining from me. Mo has her drains out and they have locked off her IV and are not using it. She has been up alot walking. I think the workout for her will be sitting up for extended times. She has even been doing some homework still. We had our post op xrays and Ct scan today. They will be dismissing her tomorrow morning!!! We will spend the rest of the day and that night at the Mc House. On Wednesday we will drive to Dallas and stay at a hotel. Thurs. morning we will leave and drive the rest of the way home. I can't wait!!! They gave us the xrays on a disc, so I haven't seen what they look like. I did see her back though when they changed the dressing. Keeping in mind that she will never be straight like us, she looks fabulous. She is also visibly taller compared to where she reached on me before. With a shirt on (first time this week) you can't even tell she has scoliosis. It makes me tear up a bit. The four incisions look really good. Healing nicely. She is also off her vent for half of the day so far which is good too. I imagine when we get home she will do even better. I don't know how my computer access will be from here on out, so the next update may come from home. Thanks again for all the prayers.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Hello Shellie, I don't know why your good news makes me feel like crying a bit. I think it must be hearing that your sweet daughter is finally getting a good out come after what must have been such a long difficult journey. My little Keegan (21 mos.) will have surgery at some point for his congenital problems. We are just starting to get information from the neurologists and surgeons. I still must seek out second opinions. I will continue to think about your family and look forward to future updates. I hope all your news continues to be good, sounds like you earned it! Best wishes, > > Hi there Everybody!! > Just taking a break. The library here in the hospital is so nice. I'm glad it is open today. First off please let me thank you all for your prayers.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Shellie & Mo, You both are such an inspiration to Liv and I! Your updates mean so much to us, at this point. Moriah is an angel to so many. Please tell her that we love her, and hope to see her in May. I believe the Mothers Tea is on May 13th. Drive safe, and please give me a ring when you get home. Sincerely, HRH > Hi there Everybody!! > Just taking a break. The library here in the hospital is so nice. I'm > glad it is open today. First off please let me thank you all for your > prayers.
