Goodness

Hint of a smile in there :-)

Kaitlyn has been doing quite a bit better since she's been on Ceftin (antibiotic). She doesn't have as much respiratory distress and breathes much quieter, with less junk in there. There is still congestion in her lungs but that may never go away. She has been more stable though, which is really awesome!

A new bow!

Over the weekend I got to sneak away for a few minutes to our neighborhood's design center where there was a display for the Scentsy and Thirty-One online fundraiser for Kaitlyn's Fund. It was really great to meet Pamela and Michelle in person, who have really gone out of their way to help out. REMINDER: The fundraiser ends tomorrow (Wednesday, Feb. 29th) so make sure you put your online orders in if you are wanting to participate!

Pamela and Michelle

Sweet girls brought a popular 7 week old guest!

So in the past year, I've probably had my hair cut like twice and that was before when Kaitlyn's disease hadn't progressed to the stage that it is now. I reached out to Joy Dietz of Comfort and Joy Salon. She had donated a few haircuts for a fundraiser in the past and I asked her if there was "anyway possible she could come out to the house and cut/color my hair, since I don't want to leave Kaitlyn". She graciously came out here and did my hair right next to where Kaitlyn was sleeping soundly! There are so many great people out there and the goodness in their hearts is evident in these simple, yet kind gestures.

Blonder- like I used to have it!

Our neighbors are still bringing us food a few days a week, which is so incredibly nice. It helps out so much, especially since I don't leave Kaitlyn's side much. We do have a new mini-fridge that one of our neighbors was going to sell and another neighbor bought it for us! Now we can store Kaitlyn's refrigerated medicines up in our room and also have some soda and snacks so I'm not completely isolated. Of course we had to "Kaitlyn-ify" the fridge with decals from one of her favorite movies, Tangled! :-) Thank you Leah and Michael!  

Our Tangled Mini-Fridge!

We are praying that the rest of the week goes well and that the Ceftin continues to help Kailtyn and that we can manage any pain that she may have. We still have her on pain patches, which gives her continuous pain meds. We have hardly had to use the morphine or other pain meds since she's been on the patch, so we feel that we are doing the right thing for her.

This morning.

Thank you again to everyone for your continued prayers, uplifting messages and even surprise sweet gifts for Kaitlyn left on our porch! You guys are so awesome!
