McKelle Is Home!!

McKelle was admitted to Primary Childrens 2 weeks ago with bacterial pneumonia.

She had been sick with a high fever for a few days,

and the doctor's didn't diagnose it for 5 days...

Once she was admitted she underwent surgery and sedation procedures to place

chest tubes and perform a VATS on her lung.

A Life Saving Coloring book with "Magic Markers" was given

to McKelle by my sister. It was the only thing that she would sit up to do!

SWOLLEN!!

McKelle turned into someone else at the hospital, all the fluid
they gave her to keep her fevers down and to hydrate her,
made her into a balloon!


After a week of laying on the back of her head, her hair was sooo

tangled, it took me over an hour to brush it out, and put it into braids...

Then we had a nurse that I loved named Marielle, and a couple of days later
we again combed out the tangles and she french braided her hair for me...


FINALLY!!! After almost 2 weeks she was able to take off her oxygen and
get out of her room... We went for a wagon ride around the hospital!

Both Lance and I want to thank everyone for everything

over the past few weeks...

All the prayers, food, love, support, and kindness

shown to our family during this time.

We truly appreciate everyone's concern for McKelle.

After all her procedures and surgery, she is finally doing better!

We truly are grateful for the power of the priesthood,

and for our Heavenly Father hearing and answering prayers.

Thanks again to everyone during this trying time. We Love You!
