PRINCESS CALLI

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Calli had an appointment at the beginning of December and her oxygen levels went from 81 to about 90, we were so excited!! We don't have to have oxygen at night anymore YEAH!!! She had a wonderful Christmas. (She even attended all the Christmas Parties, now that's huge!!)
She wants to say "hi" to everyone and Thanks a million xoxoxo, Calli and her mom.

I am doing so good! I had so much fun on Halloween. I go to the doctor's on the 13th of November and hopefully I won't have to eat low-fat any more. I hope the doctor says that I don't have to sleep with oxygen anymore, keep your fingers cross. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you so much to everyone that cares about me and loves me.

WE ARE ACTUALLY HOME!! Didn't want to update the blog until I had a few good days behind me. We left on Thursday afternoon and we went to the Halloween store so I could get my halloween costume (see the picture) I'm going to be a black cat!! I am so happy to be home,playing with my brothers, sleeping in my own bed. I go back to the hospital on Wednesday the 14th, just for a check-up( we are hoping everything will look good.) I still have my oxygen all the time and have to eat a low-fat diet until Thanksgiving. But, I'm okay with that just as long as I can be home. We want to thank everyone that has supported us through this. You have helped more than words can express! WE LOVE YOU !! Princess Calli

Today, Wednesday October 7th they pulled my chest tube out!! I hope all goes well. They will check my x-ray in the morning and hopefully there is no fluid building up.We are just watching it now, so we don't know exactly when we will be coming home. HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK! I still go to the playroom, go on walks and Cache comes and plays with me.

Okay, we have learned that you don't think you're going home until you are actually in the car entering your driveway. Saturday morning my chest tube started draining again (about 200 cc and then some)So, we are still in the hospital, room #3089 100 Mario Cappechi Drive, S.L.C, Utah. We now are trying a different medication to hopefully dry up all this drainage. Monday we didn't have any drainage but, we have to wait and see. Chest x-ray's in the morning might tell us more (simply just waiting to see what happens.) We have learned to be patient and just wait and see what tomarrow brings. Thanks for sending the positive encouragement!!

My chest tube hasn't been draining, they think it might be stopped. YEAH!! They keep checking when I go down to chest x-rays and it still looks okay. If tomarrow morning it looks okay they will take out the chest tube. We are hoping and praying everything goes well and maybe I can come home on Sunday or Monday!! I hate taking my medications but, when they tell me it will get me better and I will be able to go home sooner ,I swallow them right down.
I painted a birdhouse yesterday and I can't wait to go home and hang it from our tree. Thank You everyone for the encouraging comments, they really help my mom. We are very grateful for everyone willing to help lighten our load.
