November 9 - 32 days


After preparing ourselves this past weekend for what would be Chloe's fourth surgery we were very upset to hear that the surgery would be postponed. Last night and early today Chloe had multiple vomiting episodes where she could not keep her nasogastric feeds down. Her surgical doctor, being cautious, decided to postpone surgery until they find what could be causing her to be so nauseous.

As you can imagine, we feel this is yet another step back for Chloe's road to discharge. Like previous posts, every time we feel like we are making some headway we get knocked down. It was exhausting enough for Michelle and I to accept and consent for this surgery. But after hearing the news of her surgery being put off to a later date - we feel defeated. Yes, this is another setback but we have learned that even when we think we have no more to give, we look at Chloe and find the strength to continue.

We ask that you continue with your thoughts and prayers to help Chloe push past this terrible time.

Much love and thanks,

Rethier, Michelle, Olivia & Chloe
