Emotional week
It's been a trying week. Kaylin's colon health has taken a turn for the worse. We've been seeing it change slightly, but I finally made that dreaded call to the doctor's office. When I got a call back, the nurse was stunned at all the paperwork Kaylin had in her chart. She made a comment, that I know was not intended to hurt, that it looked like a chart of that of a teenager. She told me that we have to do more stool samples and like 7 other blood panel work-ups. She also casually mentioned that we might have to put her on steroids again (awful!). After that phone call I just LOST it. I bawled like a baby. I was telling myself that I'm not ready for this and that I didn't want to do this again. Once I got a hold of myself, with the help of my mom and Phil, I just realized that this is just a trial. I just need to rely on the Lord. He obviously has a plan for me and He has a plan for Kaylin. Life wasn't meant to be easy, but I sure wish it was. I look at Kaylin and the precious girl that she is and somehow it's easier to look at the eternal perspective on things. One day, she'll have a perfect body with no ailments. Until that day, we'll just keep testing and trying new meds to see if we can make it better. Oh and did I mention that we've been doing breathing treatments for her asthma every 4 hours since yesterday. Just another day in the life...

I'm sorry to hear the little peanut is not doing well again. If there is anything we can do please let us know. We are really good babysitters and we have good listening ears too. Hang in there and call if you need anything.
Just the other day I was wondering how she was doing, I am sorry that she has to go through this. She is so cute and smart.
aw Becca. I had no idea all of this was happening. I remember her being sick after she was born but my dad never really went into it. But I know one thing for sure is my dad always boasts about Phil but also about you! He always says oh Becca can take care of things, don't mess with Becca, Becca is a strong person...health is something I have always struggled with and have found that I am grateful for the good days. My dad thinks the same way.

Aw Bekinha, I hope she will feel better soon! She is such an angel! I am sure she is super close to Heavenly Father all the time and He loves her, AND YOU, very much!! :)
hugssss
Wow, Becca, I am so sorry to hear this! What a sweet little brave girl you have though! We will be praying for you in this relapse..and pray it doesn't last long. Love you guys! You are strong...I don't doubt that one bit and your faith in our Father in Heaven will pull you through all of this mess!
I am so sorry to hear about lil' K's ailment. My hubby has crohn's disease and it is always scary to think that an attack could come on and then what do I do... but even still, I rely on the Lord when times get tough and know that things will work out. Last time he went into the hospital it was for 2 months and we had just bought a house... Thank goodness for preparpation and savings. We wish you and Phil and especially little Kaylin and Zach the best in the world!

Becca! I am so sad, you should come and visit for a little while. I just want to hug you and Kaylin right now. She is so darling and I want to hear her sing chicken, chicken come on home--she is a natural songwriter! I love you and call me anytime you want to talk.
Hang in there!! You can handle this and "this too shall pass..." Give a big kiss and hug to Kaylin for me!
It's hard not to be there for you. I am so happy I have a cell phone so you can cry on my shoulder once in a while. I love you and pray for your family always. Kaylin is a very special little girl....so loving!
