Ups and Downs

Saturday was a great day for Kelli.  She was awake - and cheerful - most of the day.  It was good to see her playing and relaxing more.  There was a yard sale on our block, and we were able to pick up a huge stuffed horse for her to lay on.  (Thank you so much to my neighbor who gave it to us for free when she found out it was to help Kelli!)


Sunday was a different story.  Kelli was only awake for about two hours all day and was very grouchy.  Since she hasn't been eating or drinking much, she's barely used the potty.  She complains that it's difficult to get started - and she fusses off and on for a few hours before she is able to go.  Because of the way she is swollen, all urine goes down her right leg and soaks the cast.  We've tried to tape and pad the cast to keep it from getting wet, but there is not enough space between her skin and the cast to successfully do anything.

She's also having difficulty swallowing and coughing.  When she is able to cough, she says it hurts her belly.  Her left knee is bothering her also.

THANK YOU!!!

  Sitting in bed all day can get quite boring.  However, thanks to friends and family, Kelli has been receiving wonderful care packages fill...
