Well, here I am. Typing is slow because I have 112 wires and tubes stuck in me. Right now I don't feel too bad, though. Sick of bed. Sick of lack of comfortable positions, Tracheostomy cleaning is a special kind of hell. Very thankful they didn't split my jaw as this has been quite enough to be getting on with. I am looking forward to each day being better. Very thankful that most people are patient. Had a massage yesterday (only my feet, but still). My heart is tachy-- not really a surprise, but it makes the drs nervous. They think stronger pain meds will make that better. I can assure them barfing will not be better.
There is no sound in the world grosser than drains being emptied. Yuck.
Being in the hospital never makes me want to eat, so I am just as happy at this point to get my meal, meds, and yogurt through a tube.
I am beyond humbled by the tremendous outpouring for me and my family. There are not words enough for thank you. I felt very free when I came around from surgery so hopefully that means they got it all. I could not have done it without all of your blessings and love.
Sorry this is short, but not much else to "say" at this point. My love to all!

Kiara, a good foot massage can do wonders! Brian and I are glad you're feeling free, and communicating with all of us. Lots of prayers and love coming your way.
You are so incredibly strong and brave, Kiara. So happy that you are doing so well and have such a positive outlook. You are in my prayers.
Mmmmm, I wish they had a like button on comments in blogs, because then I could just go down the list and hit like, like, like, like, like and then after that, I need a "ditto" button. You can see where I am going with this.
Ok to take your mind off the hospital, Jenny and Nick had a football game tonight. We won, not that I think the kids noticed. While the band sits in the stand and they can watch the game, Jenny is part of the pit, so she is on the track looking up at the band. Yes they do stand for the entire game, but mostly they stand around talking and playing.
Tomorrow, they will perform at the school for the college fair and then pack up and go compete in their second field show competition. They still only have half the show on the field and we are still waiting on the battery to get their music for the 3rd movement, I think we now all know better than to hope they will ever see music for the fourth and final movement. Who knows how this will end.
Nicholas is still looking for true love and Jenny has a new boyfriend. A six foot tall Korean boy. Very nice, always seems to be smiling. He keeps telling me Jenny has homework, like I didn't know that, the sky is blue also. He is bilingual and I am wondering when Jenny will start bringing home some new Korean words, of course she has been taking Spanish for three months and I haven't heard any of that, so not likely anytime soon,
They are going to the homecoming dance. Who raised this girl? She will balk at the dress and then walk out of here ten feet tall because she knows she looks pretty, why do I have to be the bad guy that makes her wear the dress so she can feel ten feet tall and pretty? Why can't I be the good guy who puts her in really old baggy sweats and tells her to stay at home. What a rich fantasy life I have.
I hope to distract your mind with my nonsense until you can get back to yours. Tomorrow, I will let you know if Jenny and James are successful at dumping their assigned seat mates and changing buses so they can sit together when we travel..... We still have a first kiss hurdle to jump over too. More to come.
Love ya.
Kiara -- we are all thinking of you and sending you love and wishes for refuah shleymah! Keep your spirits up. It's wonderful to hear your own words typing on the blog!
Love you Kiara. I'm thinking about you all the time and sending good vibes. Rayne
