Day +26

Good evening…. a quick update for you on Kimbell.  She has been doing ok over the last few days, but has had some issues so we haven’t had much time to post.  Vomiting and nausea have largely dominated the hours when she’s awake and she’s had quite a few seziures lately.  3 yesterday alone.  Today was pretty good…she got to […]
