We started out this morning with a change in the schedule. I called the doctors office to confirm the tests and they had been changed. We didn't have to be there until 3:00pm. They had reworked the schedule so we wouldn't have to be at the hospital all day. So what do you do when you doctor's appointment is changed. Go shopping! We drove over to a strip mall close to the apartment and walked around. This, of course, was after breakfast at IHOP. International House of PANCAKES, right. Well Kendall orders gravy biscuits and grits. But they were good, Kendall said. It reminded me of us going to the Mexican restaurant in Gardendale and Dylan always ordering a corn dog.
So we're walking around the strip mall and Kendall finds a toboggan. And she buys it! What about my toboggan? Just kidding, I know she still likes mine, even though the one she bought looked better. We walked around for about an hour an a half and went back to the apartment to get a nap. Kendall was tired, or was it me.
We went to the hospital a little early so I could give blood. They were having a blood drive and I thought I would give my pint. They even gave me a t-shirt for it. Kendall has her bone marrow aspiration and then we went to have more blood work done before the MRI. All of this would last until 9:00pm. Hopefully, we should know the results of these tests on Thursday.
Keith and Deb flew in tonight to Houston. I'm sure we will have a full day of activities for tomorrow as we do not have any doctors appointments.
Kendall was still losing some of her hair today and we mildly tried to laugh about it as she would usually be the one laughing first. Tonight before she went to bed, she became upset about it and is not really ready for it to come out. She said she hopes it stays in a little longer, at least until Chase is here. I know she is upset but has handled it rather well. She will continue to work through it, one day at a time.

Good morning, TK! Hope you guys have a good day today, and are able to get some rest as well. Sounds like yesterday was a long day, even though there was shopping involved, which is one thing you can never have enough of!
ReplyDeleteRemember how much you are loved, and missed, and how we all continue to pray for your healing. Don't worry about that hair, kiddo - as has been said, your smile lights up your face so much that anyone who looks at you sees that glow, and your very beautiful, expressive eyes show such faith and strength! Keep on smiling honey!
Love you all bunches and bunches,
Granny Lyn and Pawpaw Ed
Hey, hey, hey it's Wednesday...
ReplyDeleteHoping you have a blessed day both in loving family visits which include tons of hugs, laughter and smiles, and in test results which will bolster your resolve.

About the hair, I bet you've to the perfect shaped head to go with that beautiful face. Own it girl...do it Kendall style like you always do. Keep that exquisite chin in the air...
There are new developments in the "ongoing saga" of Nic's love life...we will call later so you can hear from the drama queen herself...
Prayers today for the quality of "toughness" needed to face each day and the obstacles you must overcome, for the ability to turn those obstacles into opportunities and for fortitude to transform those opportunities into successes.
Lifting you up
Randy, Tina and Nicolette
I have to agree with Chase - your smile is so bright and lights up your beautiful face so much that there is no way you COULDN'T be gorgeous. You just concentrate on keeping that smile and getting better. Enjoy your visitors and this wonderful weather and know that we'll be praying. Love you, Anne & Chuck Belcher
ReplyDeleteKendall - I know it is all easy for us to say don't worry about the hair...... but we still have our hair, so I am sorry about it, but you do have that beautiful face. What if I lost or shaved (?) my hair wow, that would be so bad due to the fact that I don't have your youth & beauty, so picture that and maybe it will make you laugh a little. AND just think when it grows back, alot of times they say it can grow back different - you could have a whole new look. I know it is not me, but I do feel your pain and your down times as well as everyone posting our here and everyone loves you and is fighting right along with you, so stay strong and know I love you... Sheri
ReplyDeletehey guys-keep up the good spirits.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Denny's down the street. It is so good. I ate there about 20 times during my MDA extended stays.
Take Care,

Hi Kendall and family. I am Brad Wright's mom and I just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers. I just got on your blog for the first time today and it is so good to read how good you are doing. I must say that you have a wonderful stepdad and mom. Brad's stepdad is like yours and knowing that he was always there for us made things better. I know that you and Tammy are thankful to have him. You are so loved here at home. Everyone is asking about you. I know you are a strong young woman and you will get through this. Keep your eyes on God and He will carry you through. You will have good days and bad days but God is always there for you. You and all your family are in my prayers daily and I know you will come out a winner in the end. Keep the spirit and know you are loved.

Kendall....You are SO VERY BEAUTIFUL....hair or no hair! Praying for you and your precious family continually. Keep that gorgeous head held high, looking up to THE ONE who is in control of ALL this.
ReplyDeleteLove and Blessings,
Denise Tubbs
hey to all from Team Knoxville! I waited as long as I could to post today because I was praying so hard that you did an early blog and said we are moving to phase two.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of Kendall all day. Don't you worry about that hair girl, I have told you before. I know what it is like to be bald, granted yours will grow back to be more beautiful than ever........I'm bald and I am beautiful, just as you are! We are all beautiful in IS eyes. I agree with everyone else that your smile is good enough for anyone! I am so proud of you for fighting! You keep fighting for what you want, and HE will show you the way! I can't wait to see you, I'm kinda jealous that Chase is coming........lol......I will see you soon and i want a picture of us with the toboggans that Daryl has made for you, and the one he better be making for me. I am going home this weekend and I promise I will aggravate Dylan the best I can for you. Stand strong, we are all here with you! Love you Kendall!
My brother, I love you. And I wish I could see you all this weekend. I pray that we have good news today, I will read the journal and know tomorrow. Is there anything I need to address with Dylan this wekend, you know we kinda look alike, so he may think I am you. Just kidding. I am looking forward to seeing him, and seeing everyone else that I can fit into that small window of time I will have at home. I will be sure to give him an extra big hug for you.
You continue to inspire me with your writings, or blogs,and keep making me push myself to the limit, and I will keep pushing. HE has a plan for all of us, and it is up to us to make that plan happen to the best of our ability. Trust HIM. Do your best. We are who we are. That is good enough for HIM, it is good enough for me. We will all reap the rewards.
Please give Tammy and Kendall hugs and kisses for me and know that I am thinking of you. Talk to you soon, brother David............
