Yesterday was a fantastic day! As of 5:00 last night, they took Kahlia off of oxygen, and her sats stayed in the 90's for the first time!! Before that, they kept dipping back into the 80's every time we tried to take the oxygen away. So - we get to get released today - oxygen free!!! Truly amazing - after just 10 days - that Kahlia is not only going home - but hasn't even been on any kind of medication for 3 days - she doesn't seem to be bothered in the least with the big incision running down her chest. She didn't apreciate the stitches being removed today where the chest tubes had been, but other then that, she has been excellent!
At the moment, we are waiting for our discharge papers, and for the Cardiologists to come by and "evaluate" her one last time. Then we are OUT OF HERE! I am so grateful for God's amazing healing powers, and his love for us. He literally carried us through this time. We had our scary moments, but even in the midst of them, I felt a peace beyond description. Thank you to all of you who have been faithful prayer warriors through out this ordeal - I will never know all of those warriors - but our God does, and that's all that really matters - He heard a great wave of prayers for our little girl - and He listened to those prayers. Kahlia is a special little girl, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for this little girl. We have one more surgery hopefully to be done in December to correct her cleft palate - then she will be pain and surgery free! We can get on with Speech and Physical therapy (we need to get her walking and talking now!) and get back to a "normal" routine with life. :-)
Can't wait to surprise the kids tomorrow when Kahlia and I just "show up" at home - it's going to be a good day. :-)
