Quick New Years Update!
My parents left on Saturday along with my brother and his family. We have all been walking around the house a little lost. Kourtney has been especially down since their departure. We had to have the discussion again about moving to Saskatchewan as Kourtney feels this would be a solution to a lot of her social issues. Unfortunatley, no matter how much Todd and I try to work this through in our minds, it is not feasible for many, many reasons. We both feel that we have a great life here and Abbotsford is where our home is and where we belong. Enough said. The Kujawa's are staying put.
We have now have switched Kourtney's pain medication over. She is sleeping much better and is able to stay up during the day. Her pain is now controlled and rarely does she feel the throbbing, aching pain that starts in her feet and works its way upwards. Although everything seems to be on the upswing the only way this crisis can come to a close is to do bloodwork on her again this week. It will give us an idea where we are at with nutrition, (this looks promising as Kourtney has put on 8 pounds since November 24th) as well as some idea what her bone marrow is doing. More than likely we are anticipating another transfusion as her body has been under duress for months. The doctors are working on a plan and the Occupational Therapist is going to figure some solutions to her foot pain as well.
We are making plans for our new normal; some things to look forward to for the new year:
We are interviewing a nurse/nanny on Wednesday
We are anticipating returning Kourtney to school in the new semester
I am planning to return to my job and my coworkers that I absolutely love.
Have a Great New Year's Eve. It will be quiet around here as we have had non-stop guests and visitors in our house and it's kind of nice to have our family (and Jenna) here.
