Christmas 2010 brought several setbacks for Kara. She experienced five lacerations on the cornea of her left eye, multiple dislocations of her right patella, and a dislocation of her left hip. Kara is currently unable to walk, and has been confined to her home. On April 5, 2011 Kara underwent surgery to reset her left hip at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, in Palo Alto, CA. After discharge, Kara will have to wear a body cast for approximately two months.

This is her journey.

Mission failed

As we keep getting rejected by nursing homes, we asked Kara's case manager to look for in-home nursing care to help us out.  Apparently there are no available caregivers anywhere in Monterey county.  So we are out of options.  To make matters worse, Kara just got a roommate that is screaming which is making her cry.

We are going to try to get the hell out of here tonight and just bring Kara home and see what happens.  Hopefully I won't have to quit working to help my family, but I don't know how we are going to do this.
