A.S.A.P.

ASAP (as soon as possible) is what the doctor said this morning while he was in Kendall's room. He was pleased that her fever was gone and again commented on her "happy" attitude. The doctor said that he wished more of his patients acted as good as Kendall did. But we didn't go home empty handed. Kendall is to continue her IV antibiotics from an outpatient status. Kendall will have to continue receiving her antibiotics through the IV instead of in pills. A nurse came around and showed us how to change out the IV and care and clean it just as if she was in the hospital. And more medications.

When we arrived at the apartment, their was a sigh of relief between the 3 of us. No, it's not home but it sure is better than being in the hospital. I began to rearrange Kendall's schedule as it all has changed a little bit. Reorganized her medications to dispense and review her new diet. The doctors haven't restricted her diet too much, but with some of the medications that she is taking we had to modify it a little. We then had to wait on a nurse to bring out all of Kendall's medication and supplies for the IV. As soon as that was done, Kendall wanted to get out for a while. We went to Target and walked around. It was good to get her moving instead of watching her sit in the bed. I think the exercise did her some good. We then ordered take out at a local Chinese restaurant and went back to the apartment to watch a movie. Dinner and a movie. I was a little sad because Dylan wasn't here to watch the movie with us. So we called the kids to see what they were doing. They had all ate together at Bragan's and Bretts house tonight. It was good to hear that things are carrying on as normal as possible in Gardendale.

I talked to some friends and family members tonight and wanted to thank all of them for keeping us in your thoughts. I feel so blessed to have a group of people not only in my life but also in Kendall's life that care about us the was you do. I had lunch with my mother today and was telling her that there are so many good people in the world and how thankful I was to just know them. Kendall's journey is definitely becoming life changing for many of us, me especially. I see things from a different angle. I'm learning more and more every day. I can't seem to find the words to describe exactly what it is that's going on but I will keep searching for them.

A.S.A.P. means exactly what it says. It may be now, an hour from now or even tomorrow. But As Soon As Possible in Gods time is soon enough for me....
