Rightside Up Friends

John and Elaina to the rescue.

We were hitting a wall by this evening. Tired, depressed, disappointed.

We want to go home! We want to know Kevin is fine. Safe from more cancer.

Enter John and Elaina Balser via cell phone. They listened and talked us out of our blues.

Maybe coincidence, maybe a result of letting go of a little stress, whatever the reason, Kevin's body moved further in the healing process tonight and was rewarded with jello and soup. The nurses's were very apologetic for the semi-solid meal, Kevin was ecstatic. He thought it was a feast.

We said our evening prayers with special thanks for our friends. And for the fact that the Loud family numbers were greatly diminished tonight. It's almost quiet in the hallway.

Kevin added a special thank you for Jello and the cup of ice cream he scored after his late evening supper.

I reclaimed my bed, er, chair.

The orange pylon was back in the front parking spot when I made my nightly dash home and back. I ignored temptation.

Kevin is reading. We both napped earlier, after our phone call with the Balsers. I think we let enough of the frustrations go that we could rest. Kev is tired again now but he's hit a good part in the Hogwart's adventure and he's unwilling to turn out the light until things are righted for Harry and friends.

That's what friends do; stick with you until things are rightside up again. Special thanks to John and Elaina.
