Fevers Means Larger Hospital Rooms

Back in the hospital for those long nights,no sleeping and general discomfort. Kendall ran a fever that could not be avoided so we made the trip to the Emergency Room. 3pm till 2am is not as bad as it seems. Really, we were able to sit in the er with lots of people that even somelooked to be in more pain that Kendall. I tried to be patient>The nurse told me that she was putting us in a wing that nobody is using. I said you will forget about us and we'll be here forever. She assured me that, that would not happen. Well it did, we didn't see a nurse for hours. Finally got in the roomabout 2am and Kendall slept a little but I could not. The nerses where in her room every 39 minutes now. So I stayed up and are now feeling the affects of no sleep.

Kendall hasreceived two units of blood and 6 units of platelets and on all the antiobiodics anyone could imagine. She's doing fine,just notreal social causeshe is tired so much. Won'tkeep you long just wanted to give the quick update.

  1. Happy Tuesday TK,

    Boy, it's been a week full of stuff...hopefully Tammy and Dylan are keeping you up to date. Drama never ceases, but we sure are being entertained!!!!

    Prayers today for safe travels, for reuniting with family for a strengthening and nourishing visit, for being determined and seeing things through to the end, for the courage to meet head on whatever life throws at you, for the support of family and friends. Thank you Lord. Thank you for giving us everything we have, good and bad. Thank you for disappointments and discouragements so that we can grow and be better. Help us to look at trying times as character builders and help us face tough situations with grace and dignity.

    Today's quote..."Refuse to fall down. If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down... ' -Clarissa Pinkola Estes


    Lifting you up,
    Randy, Tina and Nicolette
