Day Seventeen

We are settled in here now. We didn't move the RV with us, so we all camped out in Kelby's room last night. There are two beds in her room, so she gets one and I get one. Mike sleeps on the blowup air mattress. He likes that better than a real bed anyways! It wasn't too bad, but hopefully we'll only have to be here a few nights. Tegan was on the nurse's schedule, so I just fed her each time the nurse came in and woke us up. It will be nice when Kelby can go home and get her full twelve hours of sleep at a time. Can you imagine how much better she'll feel? Kelby woke up asking for water last night. She drank quite a few sips of it! That is just one step closer to her eating on her own again. She coughs a little with each sip, so I think she has forgotten how to swallow. Yesterday she kept putting popcorn and grapes in her mouth, but she would spit them out instead of chewing and swallowing. Hopefully it won't take too long to get her eating again. Overall, Kelby is really ready to go home. We just have the details to get in order, then hopefully they'll kick us out of here.
