Raelynn needed a blood transfusion today because she lost a bit of blood during her surgery, and her wound vac is continuously draining a bit of blood. She perked up quite a bit after getting blood! 👍🏻 LIKE THIS VIDEO IF RAELYNN IS LOOKING BETTER BY THE END!!! Abby gave the wound vac a special…

Since our last video, we found out that Raelynn’s cultures came back positive for Pseudomonas, a bad bacterial infection. So she had to have an emergency surgery to clean out the site of her spine surgery. . We had many emotions these last few days, and we may talk about that soon. But we’re happy…

This is one of the seizures Raelynn had while in the hospital this week. Skip to 00:50 to just see the seizure. . Sorry the video footage isn’t the best. I couldn’t see the screen because medical equipment was in the way. I also had to suction Raelynn at the beginning of the seizure, so…

After a long, emotional 24 hours in the hospital, it looks like Raelynn doesn’t have an infection at the site of her spine surgery incision. This is great news! It means they will most likely NOT need to open her incision up to clean it out and basically redo the surgery. It’s still possible that…

We found out recently that Raelynn loves Hallmark Christmas movies! We think it’s the bright colors, smiling faces, and fun Christmas music, but who knows? Subscribe if you want to watch a Christmas movie with Raelynn! 😂 #shorts #christmas #hospital

Raelynn may have gotten an infection as a result of her spine surgery. For the last couple days, she’s been a little irritable, lethargic, and slightly warm. Yesterday, we noticed a greenish blue pus draining from her incision wound. When we called the doctor about it, they said to keep an eye on it and…

Today we noticed that Raelynn had some greenish blue discharge coming from her spine surgery incision. We’re worried that it may be an infection… . We thought about taking her to the ER right away because she’s had infections due to surgeries in the past, but we decided to call her spine surgery doctors to…

Every few years, I interview all my kids to see how they change over time. This was Raelynn’s portion of the video from 2015, when she was 3 years old. I wasn’t able to include her portion in the video we released online at the time because we were fostering her, and there were rules…

I’m thankful that Raelynn only had one seizure today, on Thanksgiving! That’s two days in a row. I’m also thankful that she’s been recovering from her spine surgery. She’s been in less pain, and needed less pain meds. This makes us very happy! What are you thankful for? . Visit Raelynn’s website to learn even…

Raelynn just had this seizure. Skip to 01:30 if you just want to see it. . Raelynn’s seizure caught me off guard, because I was in a different room editing a video for her channel that I recorded a few years back. So my mind was somewhere completely different. But then I heard the characteristic…
