KJ has been released from ALL therapy! Praise God! I was (still am) nervous about the ending of her therapy. Her therapist have been a part of our family and a big part in her great success. None wanted to stop seeing her but all said that on there visits they just played...she already knew everything!
KJ has still been battling recurring pneumonia the entire winter season. Just last week she had to go to the ER again with her 3rd cause this season of pneumonia. It was nothing but God that I was able to get an appointment scheduled with her pulmonologist and within a week she has having a CT scan of her lungs and a bronchoscopy. The CT scan showed that her lungs were completely covered with pneumonia (all but an area in her lower left lobe) and her bronchosocpy showed that she has some airways that are not fully opened and that she has some indications of reflux or aspiration in her bronchial tubes.
Treatment: for the pneumonia she has PIC line (long term IV) in her arm so she can receive IV antibiotics for the next few weeks. For the reflux or aspiration she will be started in nexium for reflux and will have a swallow test to see if she is aspirating (if food is getting into her broncial tubes).
Sounds like a lot but after a few rough days KJ is back at daycare, running and jumping around! KJ is truly a fighter and gives me strength everyday. Someone said to me the other day..."Wow, she is such a fighter, she has so much will, she will grow up to do great things!" And I believe God has a wonderful plan for her and this is all just her testimony!
Be blessed!
So great to hear how she is doing. It was such an honor to be a part of her life in Nicu and I agree that God has big plans for your little fighter! ~Jennifer

ReplyDeleteHere praying as always!
Psalms 18:28-30 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

I miss you and wish I were around to see her grow up! Know that I keep two in my prayers and "I thank the Lord every time that I remember you." (Phil 1:3)

Psalms 71:1-3 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
