Havi may have the T-tube removed today. We hope it has been in place long enough to have remodeled her trachea. She developed an infection with fever over the weekend. We were happy to have her home. We hope she will get to go home today after they pull the T-tube.
I must say thank you to all who have followed along with Havi’s recovery. We have shared some emotional times since this all started 4 1/2 months ago. I have trailed off on the frequency of postings for two reasons: Recovery has been slow (a double edged sword) and I’m running out of emotional energy. This has gone on so long that I find myself putting off making a post. I guess I’ve started to associate the blog with Havi’s illness.
I’ll post again today if we get good news or bad news. If there is a delay (I didn’t communicate well with the surgeon) it will postpone getting the T-tube removed and I will wait to post when it happens.
At any rate I will call an end to this blog this week. Thank you again for your comments and support. This has been a tremendous task for me. Deborah has appreciated the support. Havi has not wanted to read the comments. She has enjoyed hearing some of them that her peers wrote that I would read to her.
Please pray.
Thanks, Leland. We’ll keep up with Havi thru Patti and continue our prayers for all of you.
Havi, Deborah, and Leland,
You are daily in our thoughts and prayers even if we get updates or not. We will relish updates when we get them. Stay strong!!
Love you!!
Carol
Hi Leland and family,
We just got to Longview and are with the people who sent Havi the nice patches from the SWAT team and police patches and a shirt. Did Havi receive them?
He was curious and I didn’t know he had sent them. He and Gene had discussed it when they were at our home in California. So we were just wondering. We are praying for Havi and for you and Deborah.
Love,
Gene & Arlene
Leland I am getting ready to come down to the funeral today. I can’t begin to tell you how very sorry I am about Havi. I just found out this morning. Louisa and I will be there. Allison and Evie are already committed to something they can’t get out of. I tried to get hold of Joe. He is not answering his phone. He must be at work. Will try tonight. I will see you later today . Love Peggy
Leland I am so very sorry about Havi. I just found out this morning. I am coming down there for the funeral. Love Peggy
