Adrienne got several hours away today to get her hair cut and errands done. Kenna slept the first two hours until almost noon. We barely made it to have a little time in the playroom before it closed for lunch. Then we walked and walked before returning to her room to do puzzles over and over again. We had a great time together and she didn’t even miss Mommy too much.

Adrienne stopped at the store and found the new version of blankie. The basic design is the same, so it has the same weight and feel although the flower pattern is different, and Kenna took to it right away! We are
thrilled that we will be able to have a laundry alternate. Now if we can just get her to eating again so they don’t have to do the threatened feeding tube. If you said a blankie prayer yesterday, then we need an appetite prayer today, please. We don’t know if the lungs are improving because she was asleep when x-ray was ready for her early, and then they didn’t get to do it until late in the day after the doctors were gone.

Shortly after her mom returned looking perky, Great Grandma also came to visit from Palm Desert. I left them for my eagerly awaited regular Thursday massage and yoga class, followed by dinner out. Now I’m mellowed out, not perky, and we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
