That is so great to hear!!!! She must be feeling much, much better. Good for you and Makena!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Whoever suggested the ice pops was brilliant! I bet she'll eat those and they will take down the swelling.

More jingles coming your way. :jingles: :jingles: :jingles: :jingles: :jingles:

My little peanut is snuggled in bed, up in her room, in her own PJ's. :cloud9:

She woke up this morning and her mouth was a little better today and she was telling us she was hungry, so those were all good signs. She started sipping juice through a straw so we decided to try and take her off the fluids again and see how she did. By mid afternoon we all concurred that we'd bring her home, let her rest and get comfy and hopefully keep drinking and let her recover here. The pediatrician is doing to check in with me tomorrow and Sunday and then they want to see her Monday. She'll have twice weekly visits and blood draws until her re-check with cardiology in 4 weeks.

We had a long talk with the pediatrician and the resident in charge of her care today. Up to this point we really only had bits and pieces of info about the disease, and her case specifically. I'm kind of glad they kept us in the dark until now. They said hers was particularly aggressive as it manifested within a few days where as usually symptoms come on over several weeks. Also IV Ig can only be done twice, and if it doesn't take the second time, you're pretty much SOL and have to just hope the vasculitis doesn't damage the heart tissue. The mortality rate and potential for permanent heart damage in IV Ig resistant Kawasaki's is significantly higher. :( We really dodged a bullet. The gravity of the situation is starting to hit home for both hubby and I and we're both kind of :jaw:

BUT... all that matters is that she's over the worst and she's home now, snuggled up and sleeping comfortably. My little spicy girl is a really tough cookie.

Thanks to ALL you guys for the prayers, suggestions, and advice. You guys always have great, useful input and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you all!! :hug:

Excellent news! As a parent, my heart goes out to you. I am so glad that this sobering experience seems to be drawing to a close with Makena home and feeling better.

Great phrase! :cheer: Team Spicy! :cheer:

FG - try to take things one day at a time. Right now, resting (for you all) is priority #1! Resting, eating, healing. I'll bet things will be much easier for Kena to tolerate at home in her own bed. She will probably be 100x better today!

Huge hugs and jingles....

I'm so happy for you!!! :clap: :clap: :cheer: :cheer: More jingles for a speedy recovery, and make sure you take care of yourself. That kind of stress can really mess with you. Have a glass of wine this afternoon and take a nap. Make sure you destress.
