Carsyn was a little reluctant to go to preschool today, but once we got there, and I sat in for a little while, she was happy to stay. I got to learn a couple of new songs about God's love.
We made our promised trip to the 99centOnly Store on the way home so that after lunch we could take a new toy over to Kenna. The mechanical train she picked out was a big hit.
Kenna's on a handful of antibiotics-the nurse listed them all and I lost track-but she seems to be doing better today. Mom and Carsyn got to have a walk together around the hospital. When Mommy started dozing off and Kenna seemed ready to, we left them to sleep until meal time (which Kenna did-and way past, so Adrienne got some quiet time.)

Daddy took Carsyn to the mall for supper and then stayed home this evening so he could fill some customer orders for Adrienne, and I could go to my exercise class and out to dinner.
Thank you all for your emails and remembrances. They are appreciated even though we can't manage respond to them all individually.

Here is a story from the LA Times today about a girl with the same condition, who is at the point that she needs a bone marrow donor and hasn't been able to find a match of Asian descent. Maybe you know someone who might be able to help.
