Thursday, Feb. 10

We slept! Oh my goodness, so wonderful. Never take for granted sleeping through the night. The dermatologist confirmed that it was indeed a "drug rash." (He had an immediate medical name for the rash). Gave us a stronger topical cream. We also got some atarax (rx) for the itching yesterday morning (thank you Dr. Ann Zschaechner for that tip). Kellie's rash finally doesn't look as red and irritated today. We see the neurologist today at 11:30 am.

A  friend from Washington sent us some scriptures last night. Isn't this just so appropriate: "But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble." Psalm 59:16

We skyped with TC and Becca last night. Becca is progressing well! They switched out her halo vest yesterday and adjusted the vertical bars accordingly - ouch. She will continue with outpatient rehab when she returns to the desert. The girls are hilarious...they talk about the adjustments and simple tasks that aren't simple anymore with these halos on - TC and I were laughing so hard. Of course, there's always the flip side...the tears. It's so surreal what they are going through.

Again, thank you so much for your continued love, support, and prayers! We feel it! We can't express in words how much it means to our families.
