What a Sunday

First, I've been sick since Wednesday night, on Friday I got 102.8 fever... after consulting with my personal nurse Mrs. Kelly Petke :-) I took Tylenol and Motrin to break the fever... Saturday went better but achy all over on and off. Then today my temperature started to creep up 100.6 so I went to the ER in case it was something serious. After looking like a Swine Flu suspect with a mask and constant cough, they said is viral, go home rest, plenty of fluids, motrin, let it run it's course, after 4 hours I was finally going home.
















On my way home, I waved at Kurt and the girls on Antonio Street... they were on their way to the ER. Taylor fell from her bike outside our home and split her chin (again), she got 13 stitches - four inside and nine outside. Kyana is great just scared from the little earthquake (did you feel it? They say it was a 4.7 in Hawthorne). I hope she doesn't get sick or anything that will take her to the ER.

Now my Amber (which I think caused the earthquake, read and you decide), I called to see how she was doing, now at CHLA. They said great, no problems feeds going well and that she would be having surgery tomorrow... TOMORROW !! They said that Dr Starnes is back tomorrow and had three surgeries scheduled but two of the kids are sick and can not have surgery so she got moved up. Since I was sick they will run extra tests but they don't see any problems as of yet from tests this morning, except a small increase in the white cells so they will check again in the morning. Either way they will speak with us before surgery and we need to consent or nothing will happen. I hung up with them to call Kurt and the earthquake happen...

Anyways, my poor husband left the ER, came home grabbed a late dinner sandwich and was on his way to LA. He said three of my girls had to visit the hospital don't make it five (Kyana and my mom). My mom is here today and Kurt's mom will be on her way soon.

Thank you for all your support... please pray for this surgery to happen when it's suppose to happen, for Dr Starnes and Staff to do what they need to do with patience and accuracy, for Amber to continue to be strong and come out of this smoothly and for our family to continue this journey together as much as we can be.

Lots of Love,
Kurt & Jessie

    You are in my thoughts and prayers often. Hang in there, and keep praying. I know this has to be so exhausting, stressful and upsetting to see your baby go through all of this, but in all things there is a purpose. She will come out of the surgery much better, and hopefully will be home with you soon.

    Love,
    Natalie
