RELAXING IN PISMO BEACH

We actually got to spend the weekend in Pismo Beach this last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My sister Lori and her husband Bill went with us and Kelli. Lori and Kelli were in the shopping spirit and Kelli got hungry. Notice my colorful purple lip? This is what you get when you go up against an 18 volt power drill and it wins. See if I ever help set up the back stabilizers on the fifth wheel again. OUCH!!!!! We had a great time despite the color purple and made family memories for a lifetime.

Mommy Loves Kelli

Small Glimmers of Hope

Kelli has been through more than a 22 year old should ever have to go through. Tuesday night Kelli had a drug reaction to her nausea medicine. We thought she was having a stroke. Scared all three of us, but for 3 1/2 hours we were in a panic. Heavenly Father sent us an angel at 12:00 midnight when a doctor that does her rounds late at night knew exactly what was happening and all she needed was Benadryl. Within 15 seconds Kelli was back. I think Michael and I lost 10 years each in worry. She is doing much better. Last Monday we thought she was going to have to do surgery #3, but they decided to try a suction tube in her stomach, and that seemed to drain a lot of the fluid they were worried about. Today they removed the stomach drain. She is unhooked from all the many Iv's finally and after a 30 pound weight loss, she is within 24 to 48 hours of being sprung. Hopefully soon.......

Visiting With Kelli

We got to visit Kelli tonight at the hospital. She is a trooper. I had to try out the Happy Hairbands!!! They really work. Kelli is healing, but the process is slow.

Major Setback

I just got home from the hospital tonight where Kelli had to have another major surgery. She had an abcess and fluid that was leaking in her stomach, so they had to go back in and repair it. 3 hours later and a lot of anxiety, she has stayed in there like a trooper. I cannot express how brave she is right now. She is back at square one with the pain. Now we can begin again. Please keep her in your prayers as she needs pain relief so bad. Thank you for all of your support.

Hopefully One more Day

Kelli is still in the hospital. Hopefully after on more test tomorrow I will bring Kelli home. Yeah!!!!

Small Setback

Kelli had to visit the emergency room in Tehachapi yesterday. After some testing they decided she was dehydrated and needed further evaluation in Bakersfield. she was shipped back to Memorial hospital early this morning, when the road opened from snow and ice and is once again living the high life of getting waited on hand and foot. Hopefully she will be able to come home in a couple of days.
