I am almost afraid to tell you how great today was. He went 5 hours and 45 minutes between pain meds last night. I almost got to sleep til 6:00 AM. and then at 8:00 he was ready to get up and eat breakfast. He spent almost the entire day in his chair or in the wheelchair watching the golf tournament - the Masters, of course. I went out early to see if I could find him some drawstring scrubs that would be easy to get on and off so he would be more comfortable when he has folks stop by. I was able to find 2 pair of petites - they're shorter. Now he is ready to go. This afternoon, my sister Margaret and her whole family visited, including my niece's "intended" (that's fiance to those of you not from the South!) Papa is looking forward to Rachel's wedding two weeks from today. At the rate he's going, he may be able to attend. Rachel asked him to be her granddaddy since she has none. Up to now we had thought he would be unable to go but who knows...
Tomorrow (actually today here) is Easter Sunday and it is almost as if we have witnessed a resurrection here. A month ago we really thought we were experiencing the beginning of the end. Once again, Kenny has surprised us...I am not sure why. I guess we keep forgetting that it is futile to anticipate God's timing. I think we have finally reached tohe point where we truly are living one day at a time and are thankful for each day that comes along with Kenny in our lives. At this point in the journey, the medication is working like a dream with few side effects. We realize that it will not always be so; at some point his pain level will ratchet up and we will have to increase the medicine too but for now, we're grateful for the success we have had. Thank you all for your support, your comments either here or on email and for your cards as well. God bless all of you. Happy Easter. Alleluia, Christ is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!
