I can't even explain to you how hard these days were. She was so erratic, but we didn't want to keep her medicated all the time either. But, we along the the nurse practitioner decided it was best to keep her calm any way possible. They told us that her brain was waking up and this was a good thing, but so VERY hard to watch. We usually had one person on each side of the bed so she didn't kick herself out of bed. The meds worked sometimes but not all the time.
I'm sure in some of my posts before you heard me talk about the Gummows. Well, Sheila was the amazing woman that basically raised our kids and her daughters also helped with that. Shair lives in Bountiful and was so amazing to let us use her house to do whatever we needed, laundry food, sleeping, showering, all the things. Look how cute she is, she did all of this for us. We were able to leave the hospital at the same time because Blake and his mom were there. He would never tay alone so Ray and I didn't get many opportunities to just have a minute together. We knew the nurses would take good care of her, but they couldn't be in her room all the time so there was a chance she would fall out of bed and we couldn't have that.
Ray is so amazing and you can tell she knows when he is there. Dad of the year for sure. I could tell you who isn't dad of the year, but that does no good here.
Messages from home were my literal lifeline. Thank goodness for social media and video calls. The other picture shows how wild Kinlee got when she was trying to wake up, but SHE'S A FIGHTER!!!
