Today, Kim had another challenging day...she is so beautiful and it is so hard to see the worry lines on her brow and the drawn tired look on her sweet face...we moved her oxygen back up to just over 2 liters and she spent the majority of the day in bed, before moving to the couch this afternoon.
The bambini's had a good day. Autumn, Tonio and I dropped the Expedition off at Brake Max this morning for some much overdue work and walked the couple of blocks home, enjoying the sunshine. When it was fixed, Autumn and I walked back up for it and then ran to several stores looking for some more compression hose for Kim, as her legs continue to be swollen, since she is unable to walk. Finally, we found one pair left at the 6th store we tried. We also picked up a new air mattress as the one Tonio and I are sleeping on seems to lose air by morning and we find ourselves rolling down the pitch towards each other...he thinks that's pretty funny. Cody played some football with his buddy Alex and Jim was steady QB for them. They had fun. Then, our neighbors Amy and Tom took Cody and Alex to R & R Pizza for dinner and Cody will be having a sleep over at their house. He's pretty excited. We made up some good pasta, with a wonderful sauce that Mrs. Paton, Cody's science teacher, made for us. It was incredible! We're going to pop in 'Elf' for the kids and us to watch tonight to keep Kim company and keep things quiet for her.
I'm so thankful for the team over at Barnes & Noble, who put together a great plan and staffing to handle Black Friday today so I could stay home and help Kim. They are tremendous and working so hard and doing a fantastic job!! It was pretty weird staying home on Black Friday after 22 years in retail management, typically working a 12 hour shift. I'm blessed to have them to support me.
Tonight, we rest and pray that Kim's oxygen level finds it way back to her and she sleeps peacefully through tonight (except when I give her her Lovenox injection and pain meds through the night!). Thank you for your kind words, positive thoughts and prayers...
Love,
Dave

I will keep on asking our Grand Creator, Jehovah(Ps 83:18), through his son, Jesus Christ, who died for all of us, that Kim's oxygen levels go back to normal and that Kim receives the strength beyond what is normal(2 Co 4:7)to beat cancer.
Love you guys,
