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.

Nevermind?

JUST as we are packing up to leave...in walks Kara's case manager.  We have a placement as of tomorrow.  So Kara will NOT be coming home, but rather will go to a skilled nursing facility.  It's not one of our favorites, but it's a start.

We will still keep our eyes open for a better facility if necessary.
