Day 2 - Walk It Out



Kenan has been up and walking all around the second floor of the hospital.  Her curiosity hasn't been phased by the surgery.  She wanted to look in all of the rooms that the doors were open and see who is in there.  We have gone for three walks today and all wipe out her energy.  But I told her she needs to get a good night sleep tonight so she can see all of her visitors coming tomorrow.


Uncle Dean, Michelle (cousin) and Granny Burke made it by this morning to bring a UNC balloon and wish her the best.  She was on a walk down the hallway and met them halfway.  We all took a walk around the floor and made it back to her room.  She tried some Sprite Zero but it made her feel a little nauseous.  She received a little medicine to make her feel better. 

Soon after that, we had our own nurse/friend from Charleston (Emily) show up to hang out with Kenan.  She brought some good gossip magazines and other goodies to lift her spirits.  Unfortunately every time we go for a walk, it takes all of her energy, so she slept most of the time Emily was here.  No worries, Emily will be our home nurse when we get discharged and make it back to Charleston.  Just before visiting hours were up, my sister Jen and Kristy showed up from Charleston. 

It has been an exhausting day and our Kenan is breathing very heavily (snoring).  I will be joining her shortly to get ready for a full day of visitors and maybe a SHOWER tomorrow.  She cannot wait.
