The three spoons of jello is still down!

Yesterday I was telling you how she would be able to start a clear liquid diet after 9:00 yesterday.  Well, she has some water and she sucked on a Popsicle for a bit.  After about 45 mins, Kasi was in a ton of pain and had extreme nausea again.  This was an awful blow to her last night.  She just couldn't get comfortable.  She tried every which way and it ended with some dry heaving and three meds to get her over the pain.  It was not a fun experience as you can imagine and we didn't know what today would bring.  We thought her numbers would go up and we would be back to the beginning today.  Much to our surprise that was not the case.  Today Kasi could still do clears and her numbers did not go up.  We are very thankful for this!!  It is a praise of ours for sure!
Right now it is 8:40 pm and Kasi is just starting to feel a little funny.  She is getting some meds to try and stay ahead of it tonight.  Hopefully that works!  We are praying it does and tomorrow will be an even better day with maybe a little more jello!  She had about 1/3 of a jello cup today and about 6 oz of apple juice.  Notice that I didn't say 1/3 of a cup, I said 1/3 of a jello cup and we all know they are not big.  Just to make sure we get a good perspective on the slow process we are in.  We did talk to the Dr.s this afternoon again and they are hopeful that she might be able to go home by next weekend.  She has to be eating 3 good meals and drinking at least 1000cc's or 1 liter.  It is hard to believe that we will have been here for a month.  Crazy!
A lot of things have been brought to our attention here though.  People and their struggles, more than just physical needs.  I feel for families who not only can't be together, there are families that can't have either parent up here most of the time because of work.  Not that they can't take off, but they can't afford to take off.  It breaks my heart and reminds me of all the blessings we have.  God has created our family and brought us all together for His perfect purpose! 
Today we praise him once again for His greatness!  We see Him!  So, that is my request from all of you.  You have prayed many things on our behalf, but praise our Father for all His goodness to us is number one! 
Be Blessed!
