Doing pretty well. I've been enjoying the time with Carsyn, but it's limited my e-mail correspondence!
The doctor says that when Kenna has had 10 days of the antibiotics and stays without fever for five full days, she can go home. We're on day 5 of the antibiotics and have had no fever for 3 days.and counting.
Kenna has had very little appetite and also throws up frequently. She had been ok since yesterday, so Adrienne took her for a walk -but the people in the cafeteria got an unpleasant surprise! Just being on a regular antibiotic can be upsetting to the stomach-she's on 4 strong ones!
Tonight Daddy stayed for a nice long visit because she was in a rare extended good mood-they have been so fleeting lately. Carsyn and I went to evening Mass, and did a bit of shopping. She helped me pick out some new clothes-size 6x now(and nothing in military green or from the boys department)-and we stocked up on foods she likes from the market-apples, watermelon, hotdogs, yogurt and cereal. Even she is getting tired of McDonald's!
I know God's grace is sustaining all of us because the frustration and fatigue only occasionally nibble slightly at the edges, but have not gotten a nasty bite, so there is much to be grateful for. Learning to trust one day at a time,
MJ
