Kenna's port went into her chest successfully this afternoon. What a blessing!! tonight it was such a simple procedure for the nurse to get the blood sample they needed, that Kenna slept through it---compared to the painful experience it has been of holding her down and doing multiple sticks to try to find the vein each time!! Now she has her arm free of the IV and will be a lot more comfortable.
She spends a lot of time and Momma's energy walking the halls in her little yellow hospital sock "duck feet", pushing her IV pole along with her. She came out of the recovery room saying "I wanna walk". Her favorite thing is pushing the big button to open the automatic doors. There is a very well equipped playroom down the hall from her, so that's a nice diversion also. Carsyn spent some time playing over there today--but it gets kind of wild when those two rambunctious ones get together and the joy bubbles over.
With grateful hearts and hopeful spirits,
