November 20 Part 1

 

We are moving her today!!!!!!!! Utah is going to look so good. I am separating this day into several posts, because it was A LOT.

This was the view from her room.

This was us in the UBER on the way to the hospital (out of order). I guess I forgot to mention that they are bringing the PRINCESS JET so all of us can fly with her to Utah. The flight company booked us a car to ride to Brown Airport in California where they will be flying out of and then a car in Salt Lake to take us to the facility in Bountiful. SUCH A BLESING AND ANSWER TO PRAYERS. We were thinking 2 of us would have to fly home or drive.

This was the person that told us the flight would not be covered. Our case worker at the hospital gave us her number and it didn't work at all. Not necessary they said, they could just put her somewhere in California. IDIOTS.

OH HAPPY DAY!! 

I worked so hard for this along with the help of several other people making it happen. At this point the were ready to move her to a step down unit and the next step was moving her to an L-Tach in California, which we did not want AT ALL. Because the insurance would say it wasn't necessary to move her to Utah at that point. I don't know that anyone that wasn't going through this with us would understand what a miracle this really was. 

Once Blake's mom left the 3 of us tried to stay in the room as much as possible when I wasn't working. They didn't like that we were all there but some of them just turned a blind eye because it was such a struggle. 

I wish I had a picture of the mad that prayed with us on the elevator, he was so passionate and was in tears by the time he was done praying. I may have already told that story, but it was amazing.

If you know me, you know I make friends wherever I go. I made this sweet friend at the hotel who was also going through some hard things. I have texted her a few times since, but never did get to see her again before we left. She lived in Chula Vista and just needed a night away from her situation.

One of the places we ate. It was good but my sense of humor wasn't sense of humoring at all!!!

My view from the cafeteria most days. This was a new week and shrimp was no longer on the menu. SAD

Yes, some days during this journey my MAMA BEAR came out and usually for good reason. I was very agreeable and nice until someone messed with my kid and that usually didn't end well.

If I were to post all of these that are in my photos it would take up several pages. I just kept needing the extra boost that these were providing for me at the time.

Getting closer to breaking her out of California and taking her to Utah. We looked at places closer to home and none of them are acceptable. Blake's mother thought we could just put her any place in Idaho Falls and if they had nurses it would be fine. Our doctor in Idaho said the only way she would be transported to Idaho Falls was if we couldn't get her in anywhere else and they moved her to his hospital in the ICU where he could take care of her until we found a place. But, that wasn't necessary. They fought a hard fight with insurance, thank the Lord. BTW insurance sucks they wanted to just give up on her so many times. All the people care about at Insurance companies is lining their own pockets.

I don't remember what this was about. I guess I should really go back to my videos and update things like this. Blake really was a trooper, until he wasn't, like I stated earlier in the blog. His dad called daily, sometimes more and would tell him Kinlee was not his problem anymore, she was ours and that he should come home and go back to work. We really though we would have to MAKE him divorce her if she didn't get better. But as we all know now that wasn't necessary and she IS getting better. Sorry, little tangent, I'm trying to be nice and I can totally see the good in him and his family not being in her life. After reading messages and emails on her phone we can see life was really hard for her before this in so many ways. We are just so happy that she is such a delight now and so happy.

Picture of our temple at home. BOY DID I MISS HOME.

Her dad was so worried about her hair. Watching him go through this is heartbreaking we would do anything for his girls.

Look at that beautiful hair. She worked so hard to get it so long. She would just kind of stare off in space most of the day, when her eyes were open. She would sometimes look at us, but not really LOOK at us. Which was so hard. This was Chelsea combing her hair. At this point the nurse only had 2 patients so she was in the room a lot.

In these photos she does look a little irritated.

We loved seeing pictures from home. Harrison and Brinlee.

I follow this lady's account on all social media. I loved her posts during this as well.

Jerika & Lyvi facetime and singing.

SHE'S IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are getting closer at this point. My cousins got involved and we found out one of my cousins son in laws work for this company and he is the one that got us an air ambulance. The insurance wouldn't pay for it, but the GOFUNDME paid for most of it. THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO DONATED.

I swear I have a million of these on my phone. Just another thing that helped me through this nightmare.
