Sabrina, Her mother,father and brother were at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City away from home for 75 days, Her mother stayed in Sabrina's room at night and her father and brother stayed in a room at the Ronald McDonald house 10 minutes from the Hospital at night, Sabrina always had one of her parents and most of the time both of her parent's at her bedside, Letting her know they were there for her and how much they loved her, holding her hand, talking to her, praying for her, watching over her and protecting her, She was never left alone, Her brother would stay in her room for a while and let Sabrina know he was there and that he loved her, then he would go to the Forever young zone in the hospital(A place for kids to play games, do activities, do arts & crafts and make friends ) He also was being tutored for his schooling by his Father and hospital tutors, All of there meals were at the hospital cafeteria or fast food places down town, Occasionally the Ronald McDonald room in the hospital would have wonderful volunteers come in and provide dinners for patient's parent's, mostly during Christmas time and New Years, Sabrina's mom and dad would take turns going to eat, one of them always stayed with Sabrina, The only exception was when she was in surgery,
With 15 surgeries and many more procedures and vital cares done, This was a very stressful,emotional and trying time, It was very confusing and terrifying, Everyday there were hurdles and obstacle's to overcome for sweet little Sabrina, Her parents paid close attention to everything that went on with Sabrina, Stayed actively involved, They took Ventilator and Tracheostomy classes, CPR and Gastrostomy tube classes, They trained hands on and learned all of Sabrina's needs and cares, Her mother started learning hands on care with Sabrina very early on and was doing most all of her daily cares long before leaving the Hospital.
Sabrina still has her tracheostomy and needs ventilator support for her sick lungs, She still has her ileostomy, She will need to be on pre-digested or formula feed for a very long time through her Gastric-Tube, She requires special medications, Medical equipment and medical supplies, She still need's two surgeries that are known of, One to reconnect her small intestines to her large intestines and another to take out her G-Tube sometime in the future, Sabrina will always need to have some form of treatment for her Crohn's disease, She is such a strong, brave and inspirational young lady who is thrilled to be home, Please share her story and the information provided about this potentially life threatening disease and it's dramatically increasing rates in younger children,
"It's such a blessing to have sweet Sabrina home"
To all of you who prayed and sent positive thoughts to Sabrina
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
Sabrina heard and felt the love you poured out to her
We are forever grateful,Please continue to pray for Sabrina
***God Bless***
