A good day

Today was a BUSY day but a good day overall.  Paul was able to come up for some meeting this morning about Keyan’s overall health picture and finding her a second opinion.  I was so thankful to have him here and am so grateful for a husband who is an active partner in this crazy ride.

Immediately after that, my best friend Gretchen, her mom, and kids popped in for a quick visit.  We were able to eat lunch together, and the kids cheered Keyan up quite a bit.  It was fun to see her light up when she was interacting with them.  They shared hugs, laughs, and even a quick movie…Keyan’s favorite distraction!  My bestest friend in the world will be moving to Maryland so this quick visit was bittersweet….not sure when we will see each other again, but thank goodness for cell phones and the internet.  Quite a different world from when she moved to Ecuador when we were in third grade!!!  I love you guys and am so thankful for your visit.  It means so much to have someone to cry with!

And to top it all off, another dear friend surprised me with a visit as well this afternoon.  She has walked a very similar path to the one we are currently on so her ear gets probably gets pretty tired from me talking so much! I can say things to her that not many moms understand…what a blessing!  She brought Keyan a bag full of goodies with an extra special surprise for her.  I finally have it up and working so I can’t wait to let her try out the new “toy” in the morning!  All I can say, is that it will make Keyan’s days just that much better!  Thanks my friend!

Tomorrow brings a rescheduled audiology evaluation in the morning and surgery to put a broviac back in at 3pm (hospital time that is!!!).  Please pray for her as she is sedated and pray that things will go smoothly.  I will update when we get back to the room and she starts to wake up.  The best news of all is that we are aiming for discharge Thursday or Friday!!!  I can’t wait!
