Sorry that I missed yesterday. Wednesday Kayla was up in her wheelchair for breakfast, which she really did not eat. Later in the morning they had her "walking" again. They want her up for her meals but at lunch time Kayla got very upset, her legs went into spasms and we put her back to bed and then she was sick. I came home as Peter and April were there. She was sick again while in her wheelchair and they had to give her a muscle relaxant medication.
Today, thursday morning, she had peaches for breakfast and she was eating and chewing. This is a step forward.
On Monday when I spoke with the doctor he had finally heard from the neurosurgeon. They told him them were planning for Kayla's bone flap surgery. I wanted more information then that. I called the neurosurgeon myself. Apparently the bone which they took out is not good enough to put it back in so a piece must be manufactured. This requires a specialized CT scan. That is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday. After that it will take a month to manufacture the new bone flap replacement and then they will schedule the surgery. So it will probably be at least 6 weeks before they do that surgery.
Our hope is that Kayla will continue to progress with her walking and can continue at the rehab facility long enough so she can learn to walk again.
Oh gosh this child needs hope and prayers!! She has so much ahead of her, but she is strong and fiesty!! She is a fighter--my new moto-if God brings you to it, He will help you get through it. Kisses and prayers to Kayla, Love Mrs. Komar
