November 30

Today was a bad day.  The worse mentally for Chloe. 

We met with the doctor and had a lot of questions answered.  Then he and the nurse took Chloe into the operating room.  We waited in the waiting room for about 30 minutes.  Chloe came back crying, with her lip puffed out, and drooling.  She was in a lot of pain.  The doctor took the bottom 2 screws out and put them in a different spot.  He then put the one that fell out in the hospital back in.  It was the most pain she has felt so far.  She hit a low point in the car and when we got home.  She was very angry, depressed, and in a lot of pain.  Finally, with a bribe she took a pain pill.  It made her feel better immediately.  I pray we made it through the last big hurdle until the screws are removed. 

Thanks for all your prayers today.  I'll post tomorrow morning if she's ready for more visitors.

I want to send a huge thank you to my teaching partner, Wendy Frankel.  Thanks for being so amazing and  planning for me.  It's a huge weight off my shoulders knowing our class is in great hands.  I can focus on Chloe's recovery and being there for all three of my girls.  Love you!

 Chloe has been steadily improving.  We are thrilled with how she looks, and she is feeling better each day.  Her eyesight is still blurry, and she is very careful about moving her head.  Her top lip and mouth are still a little bit numb.  She is having a harder time eating the blended food.  She just wants to eat regular crunchy food and chew.  We'll find out tomorrow how much longer she'll be doing that.  Her appointment is a 4:45 in Glendale.  They told us not to let her eat or drink after 11:00 just in case the doctor has to put her under.  The doctor may have to put the screw in her mouth that fell out.  We haven't told her, because there is a possibility that he won't have to.  I am praying that she doesn't panic or have a huge setback with her recovery.  Please pray for her tomorrow.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Life is slowly returning to normal-  school, soccer practice, and Katie's softball party.  Tommy, and the girls had a great time.  Chloe and I were sorry to miss it.  We had such a fun season.  All of the families were so much fun and nice.  We miss you all.  Thanks for all of your concern and well wishes for Chloe - Yeah Deal with the Teal!

Chloe had such a great day visiting with friends - Emma, Bre, Kyle, Ian, Cameron and Allison.  Chloe said her mouth hurts from the screws digging into her mouth from smiling so much!

Thank you Brendan, Morgan and girlies- We love all the goodies you brought for Chloe and all of us.  You are so sweet.  Emily, Chloe loves the slide show.  Thank you Cameron and Allie for bringing such special gifts.  Chloe loves them.  -Mackenzie come by real quick right after school.

So excited, I just spoke to the mother of a 13 year old girl who is having a similar surgery on December 16.  She's reading this blog and coming over to ask questions on Friday.  She lives in the Pasadena area, and we have a lot of similarities.  I'm so happy Chloe will be able to help someone and meet someone who has gone through as much as she has.

Love you!

November 28

Life is good!  Chloe isn't drooling - yeah!  Everyday there is an improvement.  She is getting stronger and looks better as well.

It was an exciting day in the neighborhood, we had our annual Turkey Bowl Game.  It was a long close game.  Tessa and I had won the MVP trophies last year and handed them to the new deserving winners for this game.  Congratulations Ronnie and Maddie Donfrio.  You totally deserved it.  What a fun day!

Chloe is ready for visitors tomorrow.  She would love to see her friends and family.  She has a big doctor's appointment Tuesday, so we'll let you know what happens.  We'll let you know how she's feeling for the rest of the week.

Thank you Cath and Emma for spoiling the girls.  You are amazing friends.  We love you.  Thank you Mollno Family for the sweet card and panda pillow pet.  Chloe loves it.

We love all of you - thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers!

November 27



Last Thanksgiving - Scottsdale, AZ




Softball World Series- Oklahoma-May  2009




Disneyland - The Storybook Ride




Rags- my dad's horse

 Watching Uncle Buck.  Best movie ever!

Everyday Chloe is getting better and stronger.  I've been slipping protein powder and Ensure in her meals. She can only eat blended liquids and we've been very creative.  Chloeis getting her appetite back and ate a lot more today.  She's been very hungry and craving certain foods.  Today my dad spoiled her and bought her a Taco Lita bean cup.  I watered it down and mashed it.  She was in heaven.

We had a great family day today.  We bought our Christmas tree and decorated the house most of the day.   It was extra special this year.  Katie and Tess have been so great to Chloe.  They are so concerned and helpful.

Thank you Cindy Dunaway and Family for the  pajamas and wine.  Helen all the goodies are too yummy.  Chloe loves the robe and doggy.  Veronica, we can't get enough of the tamales - Chloe loved the mashed masa and coke.  Thanks for the slurpees and goodies Aunt Lynn, Callie, and J.T.  Thank you Bryan and Carol for the 50 States book.  It will keep Chloe busy.  Wow - you are all spoiling Chloe.  We appreciate it.

Chloe is doing better and told me she would decide tomorrow if she's ready to see her friends.  I think she's unsure because her mouth feels numb, she can't see what she looks like, and she's drooling.  She still isn't walking around much.  She has already lost quite a bit of weight.  Hopefully, that will change now that she's started drinking a little bit more.  We'll let all of  her good friends know if she's up for a visit tomorrow.  Thanks for all your posts -you're all so sweet and supportive.

Thanks for all the well wishes and cards as well.

We love you all - thanks, again.

Novermber 26

Sorry, it's much harder finding time to write, now that we are home.  I love being at home with our family and back to somewhat of a normal routine.  It's nice to be busy with mom stuff around the house, but tough to find time to write.  It's nice to all be home with no school, work, or sports.  AAHHH!

Chloe and all of us slept great last night.  She only got up twice, had water, and used the restroom.  Then, quickly went back to sleep.  Yeah, it was much needed.  Her back pain is still her biggest complaint from sitting and laying so much.  She is starving, and says she just wants to crunch or sink her teeth into something.  Her mouth still bugs her.  She can't open her mouth all the way, it is still very tender, and swollen.  She is constantly drooling and it annoys her as well.  She doesn't talk much because it is painful.  She holds her head very still, and does not want anyone to touch it.  She still hasn't taken any pain medication.  She takes 3 huge antibiotic pills in the morning and at night.  We also turn her screws behind her ears every morning and night.  She took a warm bath and I brushed out her hair very carefully.

Chloe had two little happy moments and/or today.  I think she kind of smiled (as much as she can).  She watched the Taylor Swift Special - we tivoed it for her.    I wish I could call or contact Taylor Swift or Fergie to tell them Chloe's story.  Maybe they would want to meet Chloe.  She would be so excited and forget her pain for a while. 

The other bit of excitement was a humongous hot air balloon with tons of cookies, muffins and ice cold milk came today from the DeCastros.  Wow - Thank you so much - we blended the snicker doodles, and they are her favorite food so far. 

Thanks Aunt Jenny and Mackenzie for the apple cider and cinnamon sticks - Chloe loves them.

The doorbell just rang, and there were some beautiful flowers - Thank you Delgado Family.  Chloe loves them.  Katie and Tess told Chlo, "Wow you are so lucky!"

Thanks Veronica for the massage chair and heating pads - hopefully, they'll help.  Great idea!

Family is watching Elf.  Thanks for all of the kind cards - you are all so generous and kind.  We once again are blessed. 

Before Chloe went to bed, I asked her if she wanted broth.  She told me no, just give me my 3 pills, and screw me, so I can go to bed.  I almost wet my pants, I laughed so hard.

Keep you posted.  Thanks, again!

Chloe and Rags at a competition.  She won a first place blue ribbon and was so proud.

November 25 Happy Thanksgiving!

The ride home was long-  L.A. Thanksgiving traffic- yuck.  She was still hallucinating a lot.  She saw a lot on that ride home.  Grandpa Schram riding a bike holding a chihuahua, someone TPing, Indians riding horses, etc.  It really made Tommy and I nervous.  She's hasn't had any all day today - thank goodness.

Last night, I was super nervous.  I had some anxiety about her doing OK at home.  I was so concerned about her taking her antibiotics.  She did great through the night - I slept on the floor next to her bed on a mattress.  She woke up often for water, broth, and changing positions.  Her back hurts badly.

She loves the poster Emma and all her gifts- thanks Uncle Kurt and Aunt Amanda.  She is still smelling well.  She hated the smell of the fresh washed blankets.  Tommy's work family - thank you for all of the goodies - Chloe is thrilled.  Thanks for spoiling her.

She took a bath, and I washed her filthy hair.  She took her antibiotics great, hallelujah.  She's amazing no pain meds for over 24 hours - wow.  She's doing awesome.  Watching TV - sort of.  Katie is giving her a pedicure.  She feels stronger, when I help her walk to the bathroom.  The girls are so happy to have her and Tommy and me home.  Yeah - our families back together again.

We are having a mellow Thanksgiving - relaxing.  We'll take turns going to Tommy's moms house.

Thank you Margie Campbell and family for the amazing pot pies.  We gobbled them up - the perfect comfort food.  Chloe even ate the stew juice and loved it.  What a great idea.

Thank you again for the most important thing - prayers and love. xoxo

Going Home! - November 24 - 3:30

Yeah - Chloe's doctor's are discharging her.  We will be going home in a few hours.  She walked around the ICU and is done with the hospital.

She has an appointment on Tuesday, where the doctor will put her under, and fix the screw that came out.  Dreading that one.

She is feeling her face a lot.  It feels funny to her.  She feels like her nose and mouth are in different spots.  Her mouth and tongue feel funny, too.    She's very congested and just wants to blow her nose.  She feels like her mouth and face is slipping.  Which is what is exactly happening.  I hope it gets better.

We'll keep you posted on when she's ready for visitors.

Thank you so much for all of your love and prayers.  I will still post her progress all three months until she has the surgery to take out the screws and plates sometime in February.

Love you - I am thankful!

November 24 12:00

Boy does Chloe react to medication wacky.  She is so sensitive and keeps having high anxiety.  She keeps crying about her IV.  She thinks her, lips, nose, and cheeks are in all different places.  She said her teeth are gone, and she can feel up through her nose through her mouth.  It worries me because she has been very frustrated and worried that she won't wake up when she goes to sleep, or I won't be here.  She isn't resting peacefully.  She keeps moaning and fidgeting.  I wish we could find something to aleve her pain and not make her so paranoid.

November 24 - 9:15

Well she is definitely herself.  I'm leaning over to hear and talk to her, and she tells me -"Mom your breathe wreaks.  Holy cow mom, I can smell you a mile away, you smell soooo bad.  Learn how to brush your teeth!" 

I am now chewing gum.  She also was not enjoying her massage because the baby lotion smelled awful.  Therefore, my breathe really isn't that bad - she just doesn't like really good and fresh smelling things.

For those of you who don't know, Chloe has an amazing sense of smell.  She has always had a hard time taking liquid meds.  She gags when she smells hand sanitizer, lotions, etc.

November 24 - Day 7

Ended up going home at 11:30 last night.  Got back to Chlo at 7:00.  She is tired.  Tommy said she was very chatty early this morning.  She has her days and nights confused.  Hopefully, they will move her onto the floor today.   She's starting to feel a little pain, so we are going to have her eat a little.  Then we will give her some pain medication.  Hopefully, she will start walking around, and we will wash her hair.  She has a tiny bit of hair by her bangs, and then it is shaved about 2-3 inches wide from ear to ear.

She's acting more like herself as time goes on.

Keep you posted

November 23- 9:47

She looks better.  Color in her cheeks.  Resting, drinking, urinating.  Less hallucinations.  I failed to mention, Chloe can not see.  Her eyes are red and look blood clotty, due to the facial trauma.  The doctor said she should be able to see next week.

They turned her distractors - things behind her ears to move her bones out a millimeter.  Chloe was fine with it but very sedated. 

Thanks for all your prayers.  They are being answered.  She is on the road to recovery. No more set backs!

Tommy and I are both staying tonight.  Up until now, I'm day shift, and he's night.  We overlap a little at shift change.  We're happy to finally be together tonight.  Celebrating with tea and coffee.

We love you all!  I can not tell you in words how much we appreciate every single one of you.  At this point Chloe has had close to 6,ooo hits from US, Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada, Italy, Colombia, Japan, South Korea, and Australia.  She has touched so many lives, and you have all touched hers.  We hope she makes you feel as blessed as we feel everyday - especially this Thanksgiving. 

Keep praying!

November 23 continued again

Chloe finally fell asleep.  It has been a long day.  Still getting off the medications.  She is still seeing things.  Good news - she had water, juice, and broth.  She wants to go home bad and is very bossy-  Yeah!

She told me she feels like she's half computer.

One semi-funny thing she did was open her eyes and yell  super loud, "What the heck are you doing here.  Two doctors were already here.  Look this is my proof!"  Then she held up her arm with all of the IVs on it.  It's so sad, but I love her spunk.

She's been yelling,  "Grandpa, I'm over here.  Grandma and Grandpa are here.  Let's go take a nap at their house.  Mom, look Katie and Tessa are over there.  There's Scooter - Scooter!"

I know a lot of the things I've written are tough to read.  I spoke to the doctor here, and they are going to show parents of kids like Chloe our blog.  Maybe then, they can be better prepared than we were.

Pray for us going home tomorrow and no pain.  Thanks.

Katie and Grandpa

We love all of you especially, our loving family near and far.

November 23 - Again

Doctors came in, woke her up, and screwed one screw back into her gum on the top of her mouth.  It was very painful and hard to watch.  The other one that totally came off on the other side, they will try to put back on later after she calms down. Her swelling is way down.  She looks much better.

She has been hallucinating and telling me some pretty awful things.  She thinks her Dad died and I'm lying to her, when I tell her he is fine.  She's worried someone close to her is hurt.  She told me she woke up during her surgery and they were sawing her teeth off.  She says there was blood everywhere, and she heard the doctors talking.  Later she told me they want her to go in a room and she won't ever come back if she goes with them.  She says she's afraid to go to sleep because she doesn't think she'll wake up.

I spoke to the doctor, he thinks it is the morphine.  Hopefully, when all the medication wears off, she'll forget everything.  They think it is her imagination, and what she thought would happen to her.

Doctor just came back.  She won't bug Chloe with the other screw for a couple weeks - thank god!  I spoke to her about what Chloe said.  Of course she said she's never heard of that before.  She says her eyes were literally sewn shut, so she knows she didn't see anything.  She thinks it's the medication mixed with her smart imagination.  She said there was a loud saw, and she probably did hear talking.

Our goal is for Chloe to drink broth and a milk shake in the next few hours.  Hopefully, we'll move out of  the ICU tomorrow.  She has to wake up more, drink, take out the catheter, and get off IV pain meds before we can leave the hospital.

Grandpa's already bugging me about seeing her already.

November 23 - Day 6

Chloe's teeth were hurting.  She asked if there was supposed to be a rubber band in her mouth.  They have rubber bands in her mouth to secure her jaw.  I looked in her mouth and their was a screw and rubber band hanging by her lip.  The ICU doctor cut it and took it out.  They put a call into her surgeon.  They will have to reattach it possibly at her bedside.  Let you know.  1 step forward, and then 2 steps back.  Ugh!

November 23 - Day 6 -Happy Birthday Silvia

Got to the hospital at 7:15.  Chloe rested most of the night.  Listened to the doctors goals for her that day in their rounds.  Prayed the rosary this morning by Chloe's bedside.  She wanted Emma's pink socks on her chilly feet.  Must have been lucky. They took the tube out around 9:00.  Success!  She's uncomfortable but talking and breathing.

Thank you for your prayers, but please keep them coming.  We want her to keep breathing and feeling better.

Love to you all.

November 22 - Heartbreak

She didn't wake up enough.  She was distressed and frustrated.  Then she would rest and stop breathing.  She threw up.  We were faced with a tough choice.  We decided to give her the "Michael Jackson" medication to rest and morphine.  We'll stop medication around 9, and then hopefully, get her off the tube by the afternoon.  Can't stop sobbing.  Feeling helpless, scared, and panicked.  My brain hurts.  Please pray for her.  Thank you.

Thanks for helping out and playing with the girls- Miranda, Maddi, Veronica, Helen and Rummens.  The girls had such a great day.

Sending a special prayer out to my dad.  This has been especially been tough on him.  He and Chloe have such a special bond.  Thank you for giving her things and experiences that we could only imagine otherwise.  She and I love you so much.

November 22 - Day 5

Sorry about keeping everyone in suspense.  We are trying to wake Chloe up more.  She's still out of it and keeps going in and out.  When she falls asleep, she has apnea - or stops breathing.  We need to wait for the meds to wear off.  It has been an exhausting day.  When she wakes up she tries to pull at her tubes and lifts her head up.  We have to calm her down.  Then, when we calm her down, and she falls asleep, she stops breathing, and we have to yell at her and shake her to breathe.  It's been heartbreaking, because she has been crying a lot, too. 

Sorry I haven't updated you sooner, but I've been doing my traffic school on my laptop, while doing everything else.  We mother's are major multi-taskers.  You would think with my connections, I could have gotten out of this silly thing.  Rolling a stop sign in Sierra Madre - major crime.

November 21 - Day 4 Continued AGAIN

Chloe has been resting most of the day.  The nurse put an air mattress on her bed, so she slept peacefully.  Tomorrow is a big day.  We'll find out after 10:00 if she will be taken off the breathing tube.  The swelling in her eyes has gone down a lot, but her neck has gotten really big.  Her fever is still down from yesterday - yeah. 

A lot of friends and family are anxious about coming to visit.  We really need to be cautious for a while.  This is an extremely critical time in her recovery.  Infection and illness could cause huge setbacks and pain.  We know you all love her and want to make her feel better.  Please understand it is best for her not to rush this process.  We will post exactly when the doctors and our family think it's safe.  Thanks again for all of your love, prayers, and support.  Keep good thoughts tomorrow.

Thank you Raulli Family for the amazing pea soup - my favorite.  It was amazing.  The girls had a blast.  Good luck on your big move tomorrow. 

Thank you City Attorney Nuch Trutanich for the gorgeous flowers and bear.  The whole house smells amazing.

Thank you Brian Coleman Family for the fun cozy robe.  Chloe will love it.

Sharon thank you for taking the girls, and visiting today.  You are an amazing support.  It was nice having your help and comfort while caring for Chlo.  I am lucky to have such a wonderful mother in law.

November 21 - Day 4 continued

Chloe and Tommy had a long night.  They had to change some lines in Chloe's arm, which took a really long time.  They also had to do some chest x-rays.  She did not get a lot of rest.  As of yesterday Chloe's eyes were swollen shut, and her swelling I think reached its maximum.  When I saw her this morning, her left eye was open a little bit.  Her fever keeps reappearing.  They will do another culture soon, so far they have all come back negative.  Fevers are common after surgery.  They are still hoping to take out the breathing tube on Monday.  If everything goes OK, she'll come home Thursday or Friday.

I've been asked about Chloe's future surgeries.  The way I understand it is this will be the biggest surgery.  We'll let her heal and decide with her doctors and with her input when her next surgery will be.  I know we were hoping to have a few before she started high school which is less than 2 1/2 years away to fine tune her eyes, lip, and nose.  After this surgery we will assess her jaw and mouth as well.  We will definitely keep you posted.

Katie is doing really well.  She had a great soccer game.  She will cry at times and is very concerned about her sister.  She is good at communicating and talking about her feelings.  She loves hanging with friends and family.  She stayed with my parents, and then played with her cousins Macenzie and Cody at her Grandma Greep's house.  Tessa slept with me Thurs. and Fri.  She went over to play with her favorite cousin JT and spent the night with them.  Tessa is having a hard time communicating her feelings.  She is very clingy to me, which is normal.  She is still a baby.  Peter and Jenny Raulli are going to take them for a playdate with their 4 kids - Audrey, Hillary (our God Child), Charlotte, and Luke.  They are extremely excited.  Thanks to all of you for helping out with them.

November 21 - Day 4

Couldn't sleep.  Many of you know I struggle with it.  I have too many thoughts in my head, especially tonight.  I'm going to share them, so maybe it will help me go back to sleep.

Everyone hearing this blog is important to our family for some special reason, I have this guilt not responding and thanking each one of you publicly and personally.  I really want to keep this about Chloe's progress.  So, I'm going to try to cut back on the thank yous.

Anyway, I just remembered that I dragged Chloe with me to a very special walk for Brain Cancer.  One of our high school girlfriends just passed away last year of this horrible disease.  She was extremely strong and inspiring.  I have shared Vick's story with my daughters.  Because of her they have become stronger.  They realize how precious life is and that it is important to live it to your fullest and have fun =always. 

Helen, my partner in neighborhood crime.  You are an amazing cook - you Italian genius you!  I was so starved, I kneeled in the corner with my back to Chloe ravenously devouring your organic homemade soup. 

I was raised catholic and have always believed.  My belief and faith has grown because of Chloe.  When she was born, I turned to God, and he was there.  My girl's go to CCD and have made their first communion (Tessa will this May).  We go to church every Sunday as a family.  I hold this time as such a special quiet time for our family to sit close and thank God for all our blessings.  I'm sooooo lucky Tommy supports this, because he knows how important it is to me.  He also sees how good it is for the girls and our family.  He even admits it makes him a better person as well.  I also feel a connection to my Grandma Faber.  She had such a strong faith.  She lived in Yugoslavia, and I can remember her holy water, bible, rosary, etc.  It comforts me and makes me feel close to her.  I feel it also helps make my girls know her the way I did. 

I believe in all faiths and prayer.  It is so powerful, and I feel has saved Chloe over and over.  In turn I think her little life has affected so many people in so many small and large ways.  No matter what religion you are - I beg you to pray for her.  I also thank all of you who have continued to do so for these long 4 days.

OK - I feel better, and I am sleepy.  I am scared to post this due to the grammar.  I also hope it makes sense.

Oops - Chloe was doing great when I left her.  Pain meds are working.  Vitals are great.  I have continued to watch her and let her rest during the day.  I love to help the nurse give her a sponge bath and massage her.  She loves it and getting her mouth washed out.  I felt bad, because when we rolled her over to massage her, I found a pink plastic cap to saline smushed into her back.  I think this was one of the things she was trying to tell me last night - ugh. 

She was trying to tell me something tonight.  She held out her arms, and I asked if she wanted a hug.  She nodded yes.  Oh did I jump into that bed as much as I could.  She communicated with Tommy and I for a while.  She is hungry - that's why I hid when I ate.  She didn't get overly excited this time, and then was able to go back to sleep without more meds - yeah.  Prayers do work.

Her nurses are amazing.  They are so kind and gentle with Chloe.  I have been so impressed with Children's Hospital and the super care she is recieving. 

Goodnight - will update you more later.

November 20- Day 3

Chloe is pretty out of it, now.  Due to the fact that she was getting so frustrated and moving around so much, the doctors upped her meds to make her more sleepy.  She's resting peacefully, but isn't as responsive.  Which is good and bad. 

For the first time Chloe nodded yes to pain.  Her head hurts.  It is very swollen and black and blue.  They upped her pain medication.  She is supposed to get her puffiest tonight, and then hopefully after that, it will slowly start going down.

Once again, I want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers.  It is so great to hear from people that we haven't seen for a long time.  You are all so special to us.  It makes mus remember great times we've had with all of you. 

Thank you Veronica, Cath, and Emma for your goodies - you know us too well.  The perfect comfort for our whole family. 

I wanted to thank all of the neighborhood kids for being so kind and loving to Chloe.  You all mean so much to her.  Suzannie, she has absolutely loved her tutoring sessions with you.  You are so patient and kind - much better than her yelling and frustrated mother.  Miranda, Emily, Suzanne, and Maddie you are all becoming such wonderful young women.  Brent, Shane, Keaten, Andrew, Ryan, and Ian you boys mean a lot to her as well.  All of you older kids are the perfect role models for her to look up to.  She thinks she's so special and cool to be able to say hello and get hugs at school.  It is such a comfort for us to know that you all have her back at school.  Mckinley, Payton and Kyle, Chloe loves running around the neighborhood and hanging out with you.  I almost added your name to the kid list too, Mike Gorski.

Bonnie and all of Chloe's amazing dance teachers,  I want to thank you for giving Chloe one of her biggest pleasures in life.  She loves dance more than anything.  She planned her whole surgery around the big recital.  It is her goal to be able to dance in it.  It would be great to have as many of her supporters at her show at the end of June as possible.  Our family will let all of you know the date, and invite you all to see how far she has come.  It will be such a wonderful celebration!

Once again, I will keep you up to date on her progress.  Thanks, again.
I love looking through and posting these great pictures of Chloe.  Makes me remember great times, and great vacations.  Something to look forward to more of.
