Thursday Night

Kiara got out of bed this evening and sat in a chair to eat her dinner. Note to Kevin Freels: It was not Beef Stroganoff. She had Cream of Chicken Soup, Apple Juice, and a Vanilla Milkshake. (Are you happy Barbara?) She sat up for at least 1/2 hour. Tomorrow they will try to get her ambulatory, which should consist of a walk down the hall.

We've discovered that Darvocet is Kiara's painkiller of choice. Just 1 pill keeps the pain away, lets her sleep, and doesn't make her vomit. To quote Huey Lewis: I want a new drug. One that won't make me sick.

For those wondering, yes I'm a little punchy myself.

Kiara called the house tonight to speak to Karina. Tara and I will bring both of the girls to the hospital tomorrow night. We haven't received an updated estimate of how long Kiara will be in.

Goodnight for now. I will update tomorrow. As always, thanks for all the positive comments and good thoughts.

I'm relieved to hear that Kiara's found some pain meds that work. Hopefully you can get a good night's sleep tonight, Kelly. Hang in there!

Love,
