Popsicle!
Tom Kerr, Jr. (7:21am EST, Sunday, 1/9/22)
I received some updates from Julie and Whitney last night.
There is discussion among the doctors that Kyle may have had his last surgery. His mending has been significant, and we are hopeful that it may continue without having any more surgeries. And yes, hearing that was a Rocky moment.
Pepper had her breathing tube removed and has been able to enjoy some ice chips. The nurses even promised her a popsicle! I am trying to imagine what the anticipation must be like for her. I am trying to understand how incredible a popsicle would feel and taste for her.
When Julie called last night, Krew was resting from a surgery. The doctors removed a rectangular patch of skin from his right thigh and used it as a graft for his hands. Shortly after the surgery, he developed a fever that reached 104. But after removing his blankets and some icy sponge baths, his fever fell to 102. I am not sure if it is the angle of this photo, but I think Krew is growing! He looks gigantic for 3 years old!
Words escape me…except, gratitude. Seeing the reaction of Kyle in his great news, the beautiful eyes of Pepper, and the giant of a boy called Krew! The miracles keep coming to soothe our broken hearts for this sweet family. The miracles keep coming…#CopelandStrong
