Decision 08....

It ended up that I didn't go to the meeting...that is ok though. I am happy though that the right people were there, pediatrician, plastic surgeon, dermatologist, and hematologist. I knew they were all on the same page. What they decided.....was.....

- take a close look at Kourtney's nutrition via bloodwork, to make sure she is getting adequate nutrition.

- blood transfusion, to bring up her Hgb and help her heal.

- Stay until the wound on her back heals up (yeash....2-3weeks).

- at this point the professionals don't feel she has an infection. Her wounds look clean, but she just has so many of them that we'll have to monitor it to help her heal.

My brother is coming on Wednesday with his girlfriend, they will be staying in seperate rooms(just thought that may need some clarification)  in a hotel in Vancouver. Kourtney is allowed out on passes, so we will be able to shop in Vancouver.....Lululemon here we come.

Two funny things....sense of humour is important at times like these.

First of all daylight savings time. Shae and I stayed in a hotel. I forgot about the change in time, so we are all ready to go and start our day at 0700 am. Shae and I were ready to hit the town and go out for breakfast.  Downtown Vancouver is pretty  dead Sunday  morning and to make matters worse most of the stores did not open until 1100. You could tell that the two of us were from the country (Abbotsford). Both of us somehow forgot to bring socks, both of us had blisters on our feet, so we had to buy socks and bandages. I felt like a street person with her daughter on Robson Street putting socks on. We both felt like we were walking on clouds after that.  That was a long morning for the two of us.

Second of all my dad my sweet 71 year old dad is coming out to spend time with us in two weeks. Now picture this. He can only stay for 8 days instead of 10 because he has to be back for his mom's, yes his mom's, 100th birthday. It gets better......my grandpa is 105 and they have been married for 78 years (not sure, it may be more). They just went in the nursing home last year.

Ok maybe not that funny. I thought it was.

Some things that may help pass the time are....You Tube Posts. Kourtney loves The Church Office. We have internet access in our room.

Anyone reading a good book, and want to lend it to me?

Prayer requests......

Healing, rest and comfort for Kourtney and for myself.

Todd and Shaelyn, as they try to make do without Kourtney and I around.

That Kourtney's back heals up well, and that she makes a full recovery. 

Janelle

They will be giving her the blood transfusion in the next couple of hours. Pray that it all goes well.
