WE ARE HOME FOR A BIT!

That's right folks. We are home until Jan 26. We have nursing care but oh well we are in the same house. Monday morning the doc walked in and says how does home health care sound? I was like uh it sounds nice. Trying not to get excited and then she says be right back. So she comes back and bam says pack up and leave. Folks we did everything but run out of there. It took us almost 4 hours to get ready to come home. Getting her care arranged then making sure she has her dallas appointments. Then she says i have something i need to tell ya. I was like shoot it at me. So she says that kenadie's heart has pressure on the left side and it has a mild reguritation in it again. The top patch is wanting to act funky. So when we go down to dallas they are talking about doing another procedure to fix it. I really dont know if my sanity can hold another heart surgery but it is not a choice it is something we have to do. So we get two weeks at home before going back in the hossy. Our hope and prayers are that ms kenadie does not have to stay long.
When we did get get home on monday kenadie busted open two stitches. She has a deep infection that caused the stitches to bust. Her doc said had she seen this before we would not have come home. So she took some samples and we are waiting to hear if we have to go back for iv infusion or she gets to get it at home. She also has came down with a cough. Lord please help her keep healthy. Her cardi says we have to try and keep her healthy. Do you know how hard that is going to be? I have two other children. But now my home feels like the hospital. I have sanitizing deals all around my house. And if you happen to come over please dont think i am rude by asking you to clean your hands. I can't take any chances with her possibly having another surgery. (we had someone get offended but really come on now!)
I am typing this in my computer class that i am taking. I forgot to mention my classes have started back. So i am trying to still graduate this spring. We will see if that still happens. When and if it does this mama will be looking for a promo. I am definitely going to have to now that ms kenadie wants to me my million dollar baby. Welll i will type more when i have had more than 1hr of sleep.
I ask for prayers for kenadie's heart and stomache. We would love to keep her home. :)

oh, alisha, i'm so happy for you that she got to go home!!! i'm sure it's hard having home health there, but still, being in your own home, your own bed, having your entire family under one roof...even if only for a short time...has to be awesome!! praying that she stays healthy and can stay home, and that her visit to dallas will be a brief one!!

Oh that is wonderful Alisha! I am so glad you guys are all home for now. And please whoever in the world got offended by you asking them to sanitize should be ashamed of themselves seriously! Many many continued prayers that Kenadie continues to stay healthy and grow stronger! HUGS!
