Since the fever Monday, Kenna has been getting an additional antibiotic and is normal today. That means she may be permitted to leave confines of her room tomorrow to walk the halls or visit the playroom. Carsyn is looking forward to costume day on Thursday.
When we visited today, Carsyn entertained Kenna with her mom in the room, and I took blankie to the local laundromat for a much needed freshening. During that time they had a surprise visit from the fairy queen who made them honorary princesses with tiaras, wands and rings. The ceremony included a photo with one of Kenna's doctors, so they may wind up in a brochure. Sorry I didn't get out my camera when I got back. Volunteers often do what they can to brighten the days over there.
This "Quote of the Day" from my faith sharing community seems to fit exactly the events we are experiencing in these weeks:"God must allow so many wounds, so many hard moments, so that you feel weak and through this, you are open to grace." (Gift of Faith, pg. 58)

May we welcome His loving will,

PS Carsyn is fascinated by soldiers. We had to stop at the new Westminster memorial park when we went to the library today.
