APRIL SHOWERS!

Kenan's Mom here,

We know that April Showers bring May flowers, but today at Duke University Hospital, April brought "our Kenan" a "SHOWER"!  The flowers are also arriving (thanks to all for your thoughtfulness).  Do you know... if April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?  PILGRIMS!  Sorry Kenan, some things never change with your parents! 

Kenan feels great after another day of washing her hair and taking her first shower.  Clean bed linens and more sips of water and now, a short nap, before the arrival of her dear friend Drew!

Kenan had a good night and is making progress.  We need to move up the liquids from water to juice and/or chicken broth, but she turns up that cute little nose at the moment (a family trait).  She has asked for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but the doctors and nurses all GASP when she asks for that food.  The nurse compromised with cranberry juice and a flavored Gatorade.  Still only sipping water at the moment.

We are looking forward to more liquids, more walks, and rest today. 

Thanks for your continued thoughts, prayers, and reading of her blog!

Kenan's mom, Sue
