Kacie's Fecal Transplant...

This look says it all...Praying for this girl as she undergoes a Fecal Transplant to try to get rid of this CDiff once and for all!

We got to St. Luke's Children's Hospital around 8:30 am.  The FDA only allows them to ship and administer them at the hospital and it is only approved for patients with C-Diff so far.  They sent us to the surgery area and we just kept following orders even though none of it made any sense to me.  As the nurse was getting her vitals I got a call from Dr. Thompson's office wondering where we were and shortly after he found us and they got these capsules from the freezer.  He was so cute to get a picture with her and even had me text it to him. (: 



They give you 90 minutes to get them down and she got them in within 30 minutes.  About half way through she got a little nauseated so they gave her some Zofran and then she was able to finish.  She then slept for about an hour and then they kicked us out of there and said to call the doctor on Monday to let him know how she was doing.  He said she should be feeling better by that night.

























Mom went with us and so after we left the hospital we went to the Nike store and mom spoiled Kacie of course but was also able to find some cute shoes for herself and then we had lunch at Zupas and then went Costco and home. She slept quite a bit the rest of the day and then Jocelyn came out and watched Zootopia with her. She got some bad stomach cramps and the only thing that really helped was a heating pad. Saturday she had more stomach cramps and all she wanted to do was sleep. By Saturday night I was starting to worry if this was going to work but then Sunday things started to turn around. She had a little more appetite, the stomach cramps stopped and she had a normal bowel movement which she hasn't had in months.  She was able to go with Mom and Brady to Utah which weren't even too sure if she would be able to go.  Praying that she continues to improve and get stronger everyday!
