Although Kenna's CT scan has raised more questions than answers until all the specialists put their heads together tomorrow, it went well today. They mercifully gave her some knock out drops in her portacath before they started the other IV, so the experience was not another nightmare for her. She spent the rest of the day happily after she slept it off, and even had an improved appetite. She ate a whole banana for lunch. The scorching heat wave we are having is unbelievable for May, but sure made for a pleasant dusk walk out to the bench in front of the hospital in the breezy time of day, to gobble up 6 McDonald chicken nuggets from Aunt Barbara for dinner. Carsyn is still congested, but improving. She seems to feel fine. Boris became an outside cat since Momma is away and since Carsyn got a couple of little bites this weekend, the bug man is coming to spray tomorrow while the cat goes to get groomed and medicated. Her concern today was where do fleas come from? And why do they bite? And how do you avoid them? And why do they like blood? And where do they live? Etc??? Etc??? Etc??? We stayed at my house until it was time for me to go ever to the hospital. A sheet to cover the sofa finally satisfied her that she and her Ama Cheryl would be safe for the rest of the day.
Little trials and big trials all help us to realize that this life is more that we can handle on our own. Thank you God for coming to help us in doctors and exterminators, in sofa covers and Aunties.
