Late monday afternoon kennedy was released from the PICU and was able to go to the 4th floor(our home away from home). She was weaned off all blood pressure meds late Sunday night early Monday morning and she stayed stable!!! And was finally able to eat! She is feeling much better and back to her happy self. I went home Tuesday night to help Connor get ready for his first day of kindergarten!! Thanks to Nana who stayed with Kennedy while I took Connor to school today!! I have missed out on so much this past year and I was not going to miss this moment of taking him to the first day of kindergarten. He did so great and loved every minute of it. Kennedys body has respond well to the antibiotics and she has bounced back pretty quickly from something so serious. Kennedys doctors said that she was considered to be in septic shock when we brought her to the ER and could have caused her life if we would have waited much longer to bring her in. Such a scary thought to think that we could have lost her. Brings tears to my eyes to even think about it. All though the antibiotics are working her oncologist is still worried that the bacteria could sit in her central line and cause more problems especially since the bacteria could stick to the plastic in her line. Tomorrow kennedy will have her central line removed and get a new one the surgery will not take place until later in the afternoon and the surgery should take about an hour as long as everything goes well in the OR. We are on the add list for the surgery but is not considered an emergency so we have to wait until there is a space in the OR. So tomorrow we will just sit and wait for our turn. Hopefully we will be going home this weekend. I AM KENNEDY HEAR ME ROAR!
