HE Continues To Amaze Me

Day by day, hour by hour, we can see the improvements that Kendall's body is making. She had an amazing day today as she slowly recovers from her infection. I can tell you, that these last few days have been a continued struggle to watch Kendall. One by one, I watched as the doctors and nurses attacked each symptom Kendall had. It was a coordinated effort to bring back the smile and laughter that Kendall displays. Having Tammy here has surely helped make this happen.

Kendall still has the infection but is healing up nicely. She is almost back to her normal self. We're still not sure how long she is going to have to stay in the hospital. The doctor said that she is going to slowly reduce the medication to Kendall as she recovers. Once she is at a safe level, she will get to leave. Kendall received another blood transfusion and platelets today as her counts are not recovering as fast as they have in the previous treatments. Kendall has not had a fever all day today which was very good news considering how high it was the last few days.

I've had a chance this afternoon to reflect back over the last couple of days and realize how scared I was going through this. So scared to the point where I didn't sleep for several days wondering what was going to happen next. I was becoming angry at the very people that were trying to help us because I didn't think it was enough. I didn't feel like they were doing everything possible to help Kendall. But they are. They have taken good care of her and continue to do so. God continues to show me how good HE can be. He shows me through the care of the doctors and nurses. He shows me through the love and support of family and friends. And He shows me through the smile and laughter that Kendall brings.

Psalm 68:9
You gave abundant showers, O God;
you refreshed your weary inheritance.
