Kourtney will be staying in Abbotsford for the rest of this week and into next week as well. Her pain continues to be managed with morphine but she is weary and worried about what the future holds. We are still waiting for the team meeting at Children's Hospital; Dr. Courtemanche has heard from a few key doctors but is frustrated that some remain silent. They won't be silent for long as Janelle plans to rattle a few cages tomorrow!
Today, however, we are thankful for many things!
- Janelle's mom arrived from Regina
- Lots of friends and family came to visit (as well as a few Abbotsford Heat hockey players)
- Cups and cups and cups of coffee
- Tomato basil soup from Safeway
- Another good dressing change
- Excellent care from the doctors and nurses
Tonight Kourtney will be starting on a different type of feed as the dietitian here has concluded that Kourtney has not been properly absorbing some key nutrients in her current feed. Dr. Courtemanche has also recommended supplemental zinc and selenium. Who knew that those elements could be contributing to her low albumin levels?
So, we sit and wait. Sitting and waiting is not so bad though when surrounded by such good friends.

Your family is such an inspiration, to be able to focus on good things, beautiful things, noble things and excellent things in the midst of suffering! God Bless you all!
Love, Tracey
