Carsyn hasn’t been asking for Momma, but says that she misses Kenna! Today Carsyn and Daddy went to have lunch and a nice visit with Mom and Sister. While they were there the surgeon came in and removed the drain tube, so then when they got her port hep-locked (temporarily capped off) they could all go walking with no IV pole. A family outing exploring the halls and riding the elevator!
This was the surgeon who actually did the operation, and who has been out of town since. He was explaining to the parents that he still has concern about the area that is seen in the pictures but he was unable to locate in the way he went in. So there will yet be more discussion among all the specialists and the possibility of attempting a different assessment procedure. Again another event that cries for trust in a plan beyond our understanding.
Kenna slept most of the time I was there this afternoon and Adrienne got a peaceful shower. Kenna awoke ready to walk again, so Momma and I pushed the stroller all through the halls and grounds. The cafeteria was not very busy on the weekend at dinner time, so we are tentatively planning to have a Sunday family dinner there for Mother’s Day…asking for the grace of taking and enjoying one day at a time as they come and with whatever they bring.
