Saturday Night's Alright (8/31/13)
Happy Labor Day weekend, it is upon us! I'm kinda perturbed at dad - he kept saying before this ordeal how he couldn't wait for this holiday weekend b/c he thought this would be far behind us! He jinxed us again, he just doesn't know when to keep his big piehole shut!
Now that I'm done griping about him blabbing, I'm hesitant to share the good word, but I can't help it! Last night was ok. I needed a little blowby O2 to hold my sat #'s a little more steady. I also needed a little OxyContin cause my tummy and chest were a little painful around 2am but I've needed a little help the previous nights also. You try getting comfortable with a tube jammed thru the side of your chest vacuuming out fluid - believe me, it's easier said than done! I slept from then on until my 5am meds and then a little bit til my X-ray at 6 bells.
Good news, my chest X-ray looked better b/c of another round of pachyderm lasix yesterday and MAYBE a LITTLE help from the tube. Then it was lab time, oh how I hate the four letter word labs. I can be totally zoned into max and ruby until I hear someone at the nurses station mention labs, and I start to freak a little! This lady was money though, she came in and took care of business after dad bull dogged me down in the recliner! I ain't kiddin ya, it's like I got fire ants in my panties when I see that tourniquet. We had no more than ordered my bacon, sausage, and apple for breakfast when the np came in to drain some more fluid. Overnight, I think I drained a whopping 40mL - whoopty doo Basil! She started pulling with the syringe and sucked out 95 mL in about 2 mins - now we're getting stuff done! She wanted to go talk to the surgeon to see if he wanted her to pull more cause it was still drawing relatively easy when she had filled all her syringes!
Waiting, waiting, waiting for her return and then the breakfast bell rings. The lady delivered my grindage and I was set - dad even requested that they make my bacon soft and not crispy for me, which they did! He and I have had many a conversation about bacon - we LIKE it! As I was eating, dad was drooling all over the floor! He happened to look at the puddle of drool on the floor and noticed that not only could he give Bosco a run for his money, but my tube was cranking out fluid!
I don't understand this tube. Initially, it took off draining like a bat outta you know where, then shifted into Moses gear, and has once again taken off draining like a banshee! I don't care at this point! Since this morning, I've drained out about 300mL of fluid. The drainage slowed considerably after lunch but I'm just hoping it's cause there ain't much left in there?!
Just think how fat my sats are gonna be tonight! I'm also really looking forward to this X-ray in the morning. The labs, well, I held my #'s today like a big girl, so I'm sure they'll be fine, but I'm anticipatin a stickin on the horizon! Don't worry, I'm controlling my excitement...somewhat, so if I jinx myself, so be it. I just couldn't help but share my sweet little Saturday news with you! Have a safe rest of the holiday weekend. XOXO from KCMO, Beanie

TGIF, I guess?! You know the saying : same stuff, different day? Welcome to my life! Ah, it's not that bad I guess, it's temperature and climate controlled in here! It's funny how during my first experience here some dang near four years ago, my family and I thought this cafeteria food is tasty! The second surgery about 6 mos after the first it was kinda like well, I guess we can go eat in the cafeteria? With this surgery, I would rather eat finger nail clippings dipped in toejam than the cafeteria. I'm sorry for the graphic content, I guess I just lost my "G" rating!
Ok, moving on. I slept rather well while dad stayed at the hospital with me. I think mom knew the needle stick was coming and thought she'd just let dad deal with it?! My sats held well even though the nurse started the O2 immediately. Evidentially she buttonhooked us while the chaplain was in saying prayers with us? This didn't set too well with my dad so he smothered the mask btw two pillows to see how I did on my own? I know what you're thinking, harsh and cruel of my old dad! His OCD can come in handy - I overheard mom say something about a "monitor nazi", so I rest easy knowing that he's keeping a watchful eye over me. Not that my mom doesn't, but daddy can be pretty protective of his girls! Where was I, oh yes, my sats were back up into the low 90's for the night, w/ O2, ;);)!
The X-ray showed unchanged from yesterday, at least the e-F-usion isn't accumulating! Then came the lab draw. I pretty much flipped a breaker when I caught a glimpse of the man carrying the tackle box of torture. This dude might want to consider helping the custodial tech dept rather than the phlebotomy team! He's 0/3 on hitting one of my veins, he has a potty poor bedside manner, and dad thinks his lumbosacral area could use a little adjusting, along with his attitude, because of the way he kept stretching and arching his back between attempts! He was going to send for the ultrasound machine and vascular team but instead two ladies from his team came up and got the job done no problemo! Don't get me wrong, it was still dramatic and traumatic, but at least it was mission accomplished.
Before the docs rounded, the nurse practitioner that drained the tube via syringe yesterday came back and drained off another 30 mL of fluid. She said that we might continue to drain it at regular intervals, it depended on what the surgeon wanted to do? The docs rounded and pretty much said that we're going to continue to let the tube drain and possibly draw off extra w/ syringe periodically. My lab #'s looked good, my sodium had dropped just a couple points but we're going to continue the 3x's /day lasix instead of just 2x's/day and add a little enhancer to see if the situation at hand is still manageable?
I can't imagine anything major is going to happen over the holiday weekend, so we'll remain patient until Monday or Tuesday. Then it's going to be go time for the rest of the week because dads starting to drop hints about our departure next Friday whether we have their blessing or not! He says he's joking about it, but lets just hope we've got the situation handled by then!
Enough! It's a 3 day weekend, and you all had better do some L - I - V - I - N for me! Go, do, eat, drink, play - just don't do anything I wouldn't do! Peace, Love, and Popsicle sticks! Over and out, The Bean, schtt...

Greetings blog readers, paperbackwriter - not so much these days! Hope everyone's Thursday went well! I really won't know exactly how mine went until the X-ray in the morning and the dreaded blood draw. Y's that u ask? K, here we go.
Mom and I slept well - there's just something about the comfort of ones mamma! My sats weren't as good as the night before, dropping into the high 80's, which required a little O2. The #'s weren't terrible but we were scratching our heads as to why? Low and behold; the chest X-ray, echo, and lack of drainage pointed their fingers toward the chest tube as to the culprit. My chest xray showed mild effusion on my right lung compared to the previous day and the echo confirmed. Member how I blogged that pop had a little OCD when it came to checking the tube? Yeah, well, no chance in hades that it was an external kink! So what then is the deal you ask? The docs said that it was either clotted on the inside, kinked on the inside, pushed itself against my chest wall, or any / all the above! Intervention #1, flusher out and hope she drains - ride this thing out and check X-ray and labs in the morning to monitor progress. #2, if not satisfactory results, increase lasix and see if I can rid this effusion w/out the tube doing much. Lastly, #3, pull the tube and put in a tube that I can go home with for a period of time so I can get the heck outta here.
Mid morning we flushed out the tube and pulled ~20mL of fluid off my lung with a syringe. We also pulled a hunk of hide outta the tube that definitely wasn't conducive as far as flow was concerned! Dad asked about trying to pull more fluid off with the syringe while we were there but they said it should drain on its own. In my almost 4 years of existence, I've learned that what's supposed to happen and what actually happens aren't always the same! I really didn't drain much at all after the flushing but we're just going to pray that my body is taking care of business on its own! Time will tell! Either way, the good Lord is on our side and with him we will all be taken care of.
I just had an epiphany - what if we just asked the carni to stop the roller coaster at the top of the loop and then the remaining fluid would run out my mouth, nose, and ears?! OK, maybe not the best idea I've had but if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears! Well my friends, I don't have much else to say. I hope you all have a good friday and an awesome weekend! Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers! Love from Kansas City, Kaylee

Hump day #3 (8/28/13)
Seriously, can you believe two weeks ago today I was supposed to have surgery! Whoever said time flies when your having fun is full of malarkey, at least in this case! The numbness of the situation we all feel / experience could have something to do with it - I don't expect you to understand nor would I want you to!
So, another great night of counting them sheep awaking to a wonderful Rontgen ray film viewing experience! Those lungs be inflatin like never before, in fact I didn't even need any blow by oxygen last night! My O2 sats held btw 92-94% for the entire night - it's amazing the quality shut eye one can get when you're not hypoxic! The radiologist officially reports he can still see some remnant fluid in my right lung base, but me and the other docs think it's a pretty insignificant amount! By tomorrow, I hope to have the rest pushed out - whether I push it out my tube or my body absorbs it naturally. I still drained a fair amount of fluid through my tube last night and this morning. However, since lunch, I've probably drained less than 25 mL - and dads been all over keeping that hose unkinked like a fat kid on a cupcake! At this point on the roller coaster ride, I'm not going to get my hopes up that it's gonna end anytime soon, but wouldn't it be nice?!
The plan for tomorrow is a routine chest film and then an echocardiogram because its been 1 week since we last did one. We get to skip labs tomorrow, which is nice b/c neither of my bad boy IV's are quite so bad anymore. Today my #'s were spot on, but I had to get stuck - OUCH! They can push meds through both IV's like a knife thru butter but getting them to bleed is another story! Oh well, one day at a time! All I know is I'm more smiles since I've been here, I'm enjoying my family even more, and I get to spend the night with my momma - what more could a girl want! Dad and my deranged sister are off to the Donho - sayonara suckers! I hope this finds you and your families well, I long for the day I get to go home and see you all in person! All the hugs and kisses I got, Beanie

Tuesday's gone...with the wind! Let me tell you, it was nothing like Monday - Hallelujah! We slept amazing last night and my nurse was great - she let us snooze pretty much the entire night until my chest X-ray at 6 am which looked...AMAZING! I have a funny suspicion dad might've said something about the previous night's events - just a hunch?! You could actually make out two distinct lung fields on the film, funny how that correlates with my oxygen sats flying a little higher lately! My labs looked great except I was a little low on albumin so I had a small amount infused during lunch and my nap, no biggie!
The docs rounded mid to late morning and were pleased with my progress and lack of drainage overnight. So pleased that they were talking about just leaving the tube in for one more day as a precautionary measure which we are ok with! Good thing Dr. Mom was there cause she asked about an antibiotic for the tube. Everyone thought it had been ordered but no one actually put the orders through - good call mom! Id just assume not compound our stay here anymore with an infection. Later in the morning, dad was checking my chest perforation and tube out while playing with the vacuum line cause, well, he just can't leave things alone! Good thing he was horsing around cause my tube was kinked right after it came out of my chest! This could possibly explain the lack of drainage overnight (~40mL) compared to the nearly 300mL during the day! Oh well, lets get this all drained off and figured out / taken care of while we're here before we go home. I don't wanna come back here again except for some routine, run of the mill check ups! I'm beginning to wonder if they have any extended stay price discounts here? It really doesn't matter cause we all got Obamacare and we're all covered right?;)!
All in all, a much more relaxing day! Don't get me wrong, there's still a lot of screaming/crying/laughing/noise in general stemming from room 11, 4th floor Sutherland tower at Children's Mercy Hospital but I'm with my family and we're all pulling through this together! Oh, I almost forgot, Dr. Mom also took the initiative and moonlighted in a little hair styling work on my birds nest hairdo! Don't laugh, what do you expect for 2 wks worth of bed head? Your rug'd be matted n' tangled too! As traumatic and dramatic as it was, my locks be lookin clean and curly - thanks mom!
We'll run the tests in the mañana and see where hump day takes us! Until then, stay out of trouble! Actually, raise a little you know what for me, just don't get caught! Until next time, may the force and peace be with you. XOXO, Kaylee

Road hard & put away wet
Anybody ever felt like that? Yeah, well, that's my day after not really sleeping worth a dang! A restless night to say the least and when I was sleeping around 4:15 the night nurse decided to wake dad and I up and ask us if we cared to draw labs? R U KIDDING ME, it's 4:15, but you got us up so what the H-E-double hockey sticks does it matter now?! These labs just had to be drawn then, give me a break. Dads BP is now a stern 135/90. So back to laying there restless until who should open the door at 6 bells but the nurse telling us it was time for the ritual morning radiograph, and, oh, by the way, I putzed around with your 4:15 sample I drew and it clotted so would you like to do that now or after the X-ray? Dads BP is stepping back up into the high 130's/90's and I see a vein popping out of his forehead. After the X-ray is done, dad asks to see it, just for kicks. He not a radiologist but most times he can differentiate black from white, and lets just say it didn't help his blood pressure. Once we returned to the room, the nurse didn't dilly dally around getting this sample-she even made sure the charge nurse was there. I think she must've picked up on my father's sense of disapproval - he wasn't exactly smiling at her if you know what I mean?!
A quarter to 7, my surgeon's NP came up and said that my potassium #'s were normal and my sodium was just a little low, but they were happy. However, the chest X-ray was considerably worse, which made dads heart and blood pressure sink to about 80/40. I think he knew, he just didn't want to believe it. She said that Dr. O'Brien wanted to put a chest tube back in to get rid of the effusion - we were making no progress with the lasix. Not what any of us wanted to hear, but knew we needed another course of action. She said that we would be doing it within the hour (btw 7-8 am). Dad immediately got on the horn to ma and sis telling them to get over here so they could see me before, which they did. Oh yeah, and she leaves with instructing me to not eat or drink anything more.
8am, 9am, nothing. Finally we hear that they're waiting on a bed in the PICU to do the procedure and they will let us know. 10am, 11am, dads BP is just below boiling-scary high, and no rounds from docs or word on room. The fact that I can't go 90 seconds without reminding him of my thirst for the past 4 hours probably isn't helping! Of course mom was there to pacify the situation by consoling me, but that left dad tending to Gemma which isn't exactly a walk in the park. By noon, dad and I are both exhausted and fall asleep in the chair for a couple minutes while mom finally asks the nurses what's going on? She's concerned cause nobody's really ate or drank anything, for my sake, which is making us all a little crazier and Gem's gonna need a nap soon. She comes in with a couple of the new rounding docs on the team and they say that they have a bed ready in the PICU, we'll be going there shortly. Thank God that my dad was just kind of waking up - he wasn't too stern I could see his BP beginning to skyrocket! We said our goodbyes because mom was running on borrowed time with Gemma and lunch/nap time!
1pm and were finally being wheeled down to the PICU - well, the nurses are pushing my bed and dads carrying me cause I want nothing to do with anyone but my mom and dad. The procedure didn't take long at all, prep took forever, not that I remember - I was hopped up on versed and ketamine! I do remember dad hugging me oh so tight on the walk down while he tried not to scowl at everyone in sight and telling the head nurse to call the chaplain. He told her we'd waited this long it wasn't going to happen til we had a prayer said. I can't say as I remember the prayer but I know The Good Lord carried me through as he always does.
The upside of this is that I've drained over a half liter of fluid off my lung since the tube and not only am I feeling, looking, eating better but my #'s are all around better as well...for now! I have no more water restriction - chug, baby, chug...hopefully my numbers don't go thud, thud, thud! Oh, and dads blood pressure condition has also stabilized and I even remember him telling everyone in the room after the procedure, thank you. He's really not a south end of a northbound horse, he just HATES seeing his girls sad!
I'm tired and ready for a good nights rest...hopefully! Thank you for the thoughts and prayers - they're working! Hugs and kisses from the city of the Chiefs,
Bean

Sunday, Aug, 25, 2013
Good evening everyone! Anyone get to have a Sunday funday? My day was not near as good as yesterday! In fact, you ever get anxiety on Sunday about tomorrow and the upcoming week? Well, guess what, I do on occasion, and today was definitely one of those days. It wasn't necessarily a bad day, but everyone's demeanor was "edgy" today. Everybody slept great last night, best night I've had since I checked in. My tests went smoothly this morning but the results weren't so stellar. After sleeping so well and keeping the best O2 sats since the op, we all felt maybe we were turning the corner...WRONG! My chest X-ray showed little change and if there was change, it wasn't for the better. My labs were no better on my potassium either, actually 1/10th of a point less, but my sodium went up 1 whole point - strike up the band!
The docs rounded and the main concern was still increasing my potassium levels. My sodium is close but my potassium needs some TLC - ALOT! That on top of an X-ray showing a little wetter right lung, yeah, we've got some work to do. They bumped my potassium concentration up on the continual IV drip, we'll continue lasix, and go for another round of tests around 5 bells in the morning - coffee anyone?! If tests read the same as today or God forbid, worse, it's PICC time - according to my head doc rounding today.
Here's the kicker : the team I'm used to seeing is rotating, so I get a brand set of docs and residents! Who knows what tomorrow holds in store for me? I guess when you think about it, you don't know what it holds in store for you either! Best case scenario, everything's better - hello captain obvious! Next best, as I see it, the new doc and team isn't happy with progress thus far and we go with the PICC. Yeah, it's invasive and there's an increased risk of infection with the procedure, but the longer I stay here twiddling my thumbs trying to get this situation handled - that also poses a risk! Remember how I said I was ready to get off the coaster ride? I feel as if I'm on a notsomerry-go-round ride from hell here! I want four tickets to ride the rocketship west!
Patience is a virtue, huh? That really perturbs me. I guess I'm where the good Lord wants me and this is all part of his plan! I'm going to blog down and hope up for tomorrow. You all have a FAAAAAAAAAANNNNNTASTIC MONDAY! I'm out, I love you all, Bean

Saturday Night Special
Jane, get me off this crazy thing! This roller coaster ride is about to make my dads hair fall out or at least turn bright white! When we do finish the ride, return home, and things are "normal" again - I think we all may have some celebratory cocktails. I'll have a TALL water on the rocks and Gemmie will have a milk - neat! Gemmie sure does love her some milk, while I can't get enough agua!
Last night was rough to say the least! Dad and I had a terrible sleep over on 4th floor while mom and Gembot were restless at the Donho. To make a long story short, member the pachyderm lasix? Yeah, well, it killed my electrolytes - especially my potassium (it became critically low)! Let me tell you ladies, it ain't all about the hormones - them electrolytes outta whack can make you moody too (not that we're ever moody)! Great, i suppose every male that reads this is gonna have his ol' lady on a gatorade drip and hold me accountabe - that is if the light bulb goes off and I seriously have my doubts (member my thick headed dad?)!
On the flip side, my chest X-ray showed less fluid on my right breathing bag! That's the price you gotta pay to play the game I guess?! When the docs rounded, we had to come up with a plan for my replenishment of fluids, especially the potassium. Everything was suggested; from eating a banana tree, to lotso pills, to lotso liquid, etc. Beings that I really wasn't eating, drinking, or wanting to take my oral meds - we were in a predicament. It came down to either resticking a PICC line in (OUCH) or putting the fluids back in very slowly through that bad boy in my arm. Were going to see how I tolerate the slow method through my arm for the rest of today and the early morn hours of tomorrow. By dinner bells I had already taken one leg of my cranky pants off and was asking for more food than my entire previous days sum here! Maybe it was sleep deprivation, the anti-nausea meds I received at 10am this morning, me getting my lytes partially in check, or all the above? At this point I don't really know, but since my nap this afternoon I'm a brand new woman! Mom and dad are smiling more, Gemmie's still a clown, and we're all so over this place! Dont get me wrong, its a great place and i love /appreciate everyone here, but we gotta get outta this place! I need to get better soon cause Gem keeps wantin to roughhouse, and I'm gonna have to put her in her place! Don't forget church in the morning! XOXO, Kaylee

8/23/13
TGIF, I guess! The days seem to blend together and tend to be very repeatitious - kinda reminds me of the movie Groundhog Day at times!
The good news is that my sodium levels are up to 134 from 129, I'm surprised I don't look like the Michelin man! Those lasix must be for pachyderms cause they sure are pumping the salt down me! Whatever they're doing, it's caused a little bit of an improvement on my chest X-ray. Overall, my electrolyte numbers are all more stable, so we picked up the pace today as far as the lasix is concerned! We NEED to get this fluid issue fixed, and quick - before somebody gets hurt! It's true, patience is a virtue, but I fear our virtues are quickly wearing thin. I'm afraid if dad watches another episode of Dora or hears the bubble guppies "pencil case" (Lady Gaga's poker face parody) one more time - he just might go away for awhile! I forgot to snap any pictures today but I'll make up for it tomorrow! Thanks for the continued thoughts and prayers. I'll hope and pray you all have a fun, safe weekend! XOXO, Kaylee

Thursday, August 22, 2013
Good evening, my little blogees! I hope I didn't whine too much last evening, good thing I had some cheese to go along with it-JK! My day was better, but I can't say as much changed when it came to the chest X-ray or the lab #'s. We will just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings, but things are slowly turning around-I can feel it! Dad pretty much made me wear a hole in the carpet walking up and down the hallway, Gemma and I are swatting and pinching each other, and we've all accepted the fact that we're a little crazy! One big, happy family semi-confined to a 12'x15' room-seems a lot like prison at times! Not that I would know what prison is like-at least as far as you know, HA!
There was a couple pluses today; we finally got into the Donho (Ronald McDonald House) and I sure am enjoying that hog for an IV the vascular team put in my arm with the aid of an ultrasound machine. That bad boy flushes and draws easy every time, knock on wood, wait, just forget I blogged that! Needless to say, there's been ALOT less drama when it comes to lab draws-dad was even to the point he was crying during them!
Please send a special thought my way tonight, mom's gotta get some quality sleep at the Donho with Gemma, so Mr. Mom's staying with me. Little Gemmie is ecstatic while Kaylee's,well...skeptical! You would think after being married to mom for almost a decade, having me almost 4 years ago, and Bot over 2 years ago that he'd understand girls and sensitivity a little better?! News flash, dad, the long hair isn't cutting it-I think he grew it out to hide his thick head! While no one can ever live up to my mommy, I'm pretty sure we will endure (mom showed me the spot in the ribs to elbow when he gets to snoring)!
Peace,
love,
out,
Beanie

Dear friends, it is tonight that I blog bad news! Yup, I jinxed myself into staying a little longer. I really don't want to relive this anymore than I have to, so this is gonna be short. The routine chest X-ray at 4am showed a suspicious diaphragm so they scheduled a follow up ultrasound, just to be safe. The good news is that my diaphragm checked out but I've accumulated a moderate amount of fluid on my right lung. In the grand scheme of things this isn't that big of a deal, nor uncommon, I whipped pleural effusion on a previous surgery and I'll do it again! This does however put a damper on my going home plans. To help combat this, they put in a big bore IV in my left gun (bicep) that they can push meds through and hopefully draw off of. In theory, the IV should cut down on the amount of needle sticks, which is a whole nother story but we won't go there. The plan is to push lasix through the IV to get rid of the fluid on my lung more rapidly while adding some electrolytes (sodium, potassium, etc) so I don't get too dehydrated. As disappointing as this is with my travel plans, I sure am glad we found this now rather than getting home and having a problem.
They will repeat the chest X-ray and lab draws in the subsequent mornings to monitor my progress. It has been an emotional day for all of us and the wind's kinda been knocked outta our sails, but tomorrow is a new day - it's hard to keep a good woman down! I appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers as I pray that all of you and your families are well! Good night, God bless, Love, Kaylee

Ever have one of those days when all day just seems out of sorts? Well, that pretty much sums up mine thanks to the Versed medication. I've been given it before to help me relax before certain procedures, and let me tell you - it tastes like crap! Orders came in early this morning to have an echocardiogram and an electrocardiograph performed to check my progress, hence the Versed. I think the initial plan was to send us packing late this afternoon if everything went smoothly? Did I mention Versed tastes like manure, and it tends to make me a little (ok Alot) more cantankerous as it wears off?! I just wasn't having it this morning and I chucked it up about as fast as it went down! They were afraid that it didn't get into my system so they decided to postpone the tests and redose me around noon before running the tests. May as well just ordered a knuckle sandwich and cauliflower ear for lunch, thanks fellas! Anyways, the rest of the morning I was a little hard to handle and my motor skills were as if I'd drank my breakfast rather than ate it, if you know what I mean?! Needless to say, I'm persistent but the rents are even more, so we all four made it through. 11:30 rolled around and here comes round two, I kept it down but it was by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin! With my bulb already primed from this am's session, this one pretty much made my eyes roll into the back of my head! I was out, but I hear they got some really good pics-thank heavens! Lets just say that after I woke up, I felt like I'd stayed up way too late the night before having way too much fun!
Then there was the blood draw(s). I got the pleasure of being harpooned once in each arm early this morning with no blood drawn. They did remove both my remaining IV's and managed to catch enough blood in the vial that I wouldn't need to be stuck...but then lost the sample. Seriously, Count Dracula must be running the lab or something! To make a long story short, I got dug around on one more time with a vial drawn and actually read at the lab.
If all goes well tonight and with my chest X-ray tomorrow morning, they talk like we're gonna get our walking papers late in the morning! None of us are holding our breath, but we need out of this place...SOON! Claustrophobia, cabin fever, stir crazy, climbing the walls, neurosis, restlessness, temporary insanity - you get the picture!
I pray that tomorrow night I blog good news from my own bed of a smooth checkout (w/ 0 stinkin lab draws) and safe travels! I hope you all rest well! XOXO, Kaylee
