IT HAPPENED!!

Kourtney's bath and dressing change went with smoothly today. All she had was Advil and Tylenol. There were tears prior but once she was in the water she was fine. We got there at 2 and did not leave until 530. Dr Courtemanche agreed to wait for the blood work results for treating the infection. The best phone call I could get tomorrow would be that all her levels would be within range. I would take that over one million dollars any day.
Last week Kourtney went out to a movie. She noticed Christmas lights and stated isn't it early? She has basically missed out on a full month of her life, because of the pain she was in and all the pain meds she was taking. She seems to have brighter eyes again and Hope that she can get better.

Kourtney's body still has a lot of healing to do, but we have conquered the back, with the honey dressings, which was the biggest area of concern. Now it will take some creativity on my part with her arms and thighs. Patience.....
