Just got word from the ENT department at OHSU that the antibiotic we just started Kahlia on Friday night ($116.00!) will not clear up the infection she has in her ears. We have to take her back up to OHSU to be admitted. They need to sedate her, really clean out her ears (they still smell), put tubes in, and put in a pick line. That is kind of like a permanent IV line - so we can take her home, and administer her antibiotic through the IV line. She should only be in one or two days this time. We REALLY need to get this infection cleared up quick. Her cardiologist is very anxious to give her the next test needed for her heart. Don't remember what it's called, but she again will be sedated, and they put something in her blood stream to watch the blood flow through out her entire system. She needs to be infection free - pray for this ear "bug" to leave very very soon!!!
Now we just wait for the sedation nurse to call us to schedule a time to bring her in.
It is here that I've been documenting our adoption story. It was a discouraging journey for many years, but we are now in the midst of an amazing story. Kahlia has blessed us beyond words. She has filled our hearts completely with who God made her to be, and none of us could imagine our life with out her. We are now a family of six and continue on with the journey we call LIFE. Colossians 1:17 - He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
Wow! So glad you are getting excellent care. Praying for speedy recovery from the infection.
