KYRA IS HOME!

Kyra was discharged from the hospital on Thursday, July 9th. We have made it one week... WOW what a week it has been. Kyra is adjusting nicely to her new surroundings. She truly enjoyed her ride home. I would have loved to know what was going through her mind as she gazed out the window of the van all wide eyed, absorbing all of this new world.

Our home has been turned into a pharmacy and we are all trying to find our way into a "normal" routine. We have had a some bumps in the road understanding the new equipment and protocol for administering tpn. Dr. D'Netto is on speed dial to help save the day. Kory and I comment at least three times a day, how fortunate we are to have Dr. D'Netto. She is an amazing, giving person and always seems to help find a way to keep us laughing thru challenging moments.

Currently Kyra has two nurses, Diane and Becky, that cover our day shifts. Both are easy going individuals who have helped tremendously in our transition. I am delighted with their care for Kyra and their ease in joining our "family." We are still struggling for night nursing and hope that this will be resolved before Kory and the kids go back to school!

To our NICU Family:
We could never fully express our sincere gratitude. We have all been thru difficult moments along this road and this journey home is a reward for everyone. Your hard work, effort and relentless determination has given our family opportunities that we never imagined. Your talented hands and hearts help make miracles possible. It has been our pleasure to come to know each and everyone of you. We will never forget your commitment and your beautiful spirits that will remain with our family always!
