Chicken minis

This morning a nurse stopped by and brought Shelby Chicken minis from chick -fil -a. Shelby has been wanting them for so long now. Because she is doing so much better she is on a regular diet. She enjoyed them very much. We still have a few days of recovery but she is getting better each day. 

Thank You.

Visitors welcome

Shelby is doing great. We are hoping if all goes well, we should be out in a few days. Fingers crossed. We are going to try allowing visitors. But please call Cory or I before coming, so we know at that time she is doing well enough for company. Also, with all do respect, afternoon is best. Morning is slow for her and evening is tiring. If it seems too much for Shebly we will close doors again. Just depends on how she is and does. Seeing friendly faces other than doctors, nurses, mommy, and daddy might be good for her. Thank you for respecting our wishes the last several days!!

We are back :)

The ambulance ride was fun and bumpy. The other hospital was loud, busy, and depressing. She got her picc line and drain. Good news, the "bubble" was not pus, it was medical fluid. She should be much better now. She didn't like the recovery room at the big hospital. It was so depressing. You were cramped in a super small space with 13 other kiddos recovering from their surgeries,  crying and making all kinds of noises. But soon after the ambulance came and got her to bring her back to the nice quiet little hospital. :) Now we are here for a few more days. They are going to let her "drain" and recover like she is suppose too. That should be all the procedures she should have. What a long road...........

St. Patty's Day

Well, we are waiting for the ambulance. Everything starts at 12:30 pm! Thoughts and prayers at that time please. All the doctors and radiologist have looked at the ct and talked. They said that there is about a  softball size pus pocket in her belly. The radiologist thinks she should get it no problem. And all the little pus pockets will get taken care of by antibiotics. She will getting a picc line too. That is because her i.v. in her arm is tired. The picc line is way better and they can draw blood from it, so no more poking!! We will see how it goes today. We are hoping for the best. We could still be in the hospital for 5 days to weeks. Slow process, but if it gets her better, let's do it! Hopefully we will get to come back to the hospital we started at. Thank you all for gives us our space right now. We are hoping Shelby will be feeling better soon, and we will allow visitors again.
