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.

No one wants Kara.

Kara keeps getting rejected by facility after facility.  We have two new places in mind that our case manager is currently pursuing.  Fingers crossed!

Kara has now been in the hospital for two weeks.  Her albumin levels are dropping again, so she's going to have a urinalysis to help find out what is going on.  Also, Kara's pediatricians looked at a scalp condition that she's had for several years now, and suggested Alopecia (all I could think of was Stan Sitwell).  A possible treatment is Rogaine.  My 19-year-old sister needs Rogaine and a nursing home.  Such is life.
