Today has been better so far than yesterday morning! Kaitlyn was pretty relaxed/"out of it" yesterday afternoon and evening due to all the meds she had that morning. She didn't have any more episodes for the rest of the day which is really great though. Her peace and comfort is our top priority.
We've had a good morning so far except her toe sensor for her pulse/ox decided to stop working! The machine is fine but the sensor doesn't work so we have the adult finger sensor on her toe until we can order a new one and have it shipped overnight. Luckily her toe is big enough now to pick up her pulse with the adult finger sensor. It seems to read a little low (just a couple numbers lower) but at least it gives us a range for where she is at with her oxygen. You realize quickly how much you depend on those machines when they stop working!
I found the following in Helen Steiner Rice's "A Touch of Love" and really liked it. I hope you do too!
In seeking peace for all people
There is only one place to begin
And that is in each home and heart-
For the fortress of peace is within.

So glad to hear that Kaitlyn is doing better. We continue to pray for you!
