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.

Uh oh

Kara had a bad night last night.  She is clearly in a lot of pain again, and stopped eating.  She had blood tests that show her enzyme levels are not good.  Kara has been put back on the IV and is about to have a straight catheter.   She may have pancreatitis or something similar.  I will update you all as soon as I know what is going on.

We are not going home.
