Kenna's Aplastic Anemia Journey - 05.05.2004

Wednesday 5/5/04

I know you are all concerned and anxious to hear. Thanks for your prayerful support. The doctors are mystified and we are grateful, but frustrated. Another challenge to our faith.
Kenna's surgery went well today, but the surgeon couldn't find anything!!! There has been a shadow on her chest x-rays, darkening each time, and the CT scan showed something "big and juicy" where a gland ought to be. But today in the procedure everything looked very normal and healthy. That's wonderful, but raises more questions, and leaves Kenna very uncomfortable again with a drain tube for several days or more when she was doing so well the last couple of days. Is this unnecessary surgery or a miracle? Nothing happens without God allowing or willing, so in my fatigue and weakness, I leave it to Mary to"ponder" for me how He is present in these events like she did in her life with Jesus.
