Serious Life Magazine just published it's March issue yesterday and Kayleigh's Story is a feature in this issue. Last months issue had over 700,000 hits, so Aimee and I are ecstatic about the lives we will be able to touch and with Kayleigh's story and God's word this month. If you have not read the magazine, click on the photo above or click here: Serious Life Magazine
I wanted you to know about this FREE publication as it is a very high quality magazine and I know every one of you will really like reading it.
The magazine includes a lot of great content from bloggers you’ll appreciate, as well as great features, photos and other content. The magazine is owned and published by a family who have seven kids, three adopted and one who has Leukemia (www.riggsfamilyblog.com). The magazine gives away a bunch of ads to charities and ministries. Besides great articles on interesting people, there is a lot about family, adoption, personal finance, spiritual life, humor… all sorts of “life” topics.
Again, the subscription is FREE, and I know you’ll enjoy the magazine, so take a minute to check it out and sign up to get future issues.
Kayleigh is doing great, although we may have an issue brewing ahead of us. Kayleigh's eye doctor came in to do a four month follow up on her eyes. Well, from his thoughts, he feels that Kayleigh has "little" or "No" vision. When Aimee and I heard this, we were dumbfounded as Kayleigh reacts to our movement, and she even goes cross eyed when something is too close to her face. There is something no right and this can not be true. So the doctor is going to come back and do another test on Sunday and dilate Kayleigh's eyes this time and do a more in depth testing. I believe they are already going to schedule an MRI shortly after that around the beginning of next week to give us more answers. So please pray this is not as bad as he made it out to be.
We are still waiting to hear back on the reflux/aspiration tests to determine whether or not Kayleigh will need the G-tube and Nissen procedure. I will be sure to update everyone as soon as I can on that.
Kayleigh has been practicing on her bottle lately and is not being very successful. However, she did take the most she has ever done last night, which was only 5 ml's. I really think that she is not hungry and is just not that interested in taking the bottle, but I could be wrong. It is no rush and we'll just take it a day at a time. Kayleigh has speech therapy working on her and PT/OT coming in throughout the week to work on her development.
Other than that, Kayleigh is doing great. The doctors are changing her machinery to the take home machines such as her feeding, respirator, and medication. This way we can familiarize ourselves with the machines before we take her home. Aimee and I changed the trach yesterday by ourselves, so we are getting more comfortable with doing that.
For all of those who sent us gifts in the mail or donations, thank you so much! We are trying to put together thank you notes, but please understand that we have been swamped in work or at the hospital when we are not updating you all on here. My new job is taking up a lot of my time, so I will not even be able to post but ever so often. I appreciate your understanding and we appreciate your love and support so much.
Everyone has been so wonderful and we are so blessed.
God Bless,
