What a sight

Kurt is not a small man! Picture him folded into an infant bed with a canopy on it. Eden is in his lap, devouring a pancake that has come for supper, continuously asking for "Cake!" That is what was happening this evening a little after 8:00 p.m. They are surrounded by friends. Selena has a chance to relax a little with more friends in the family lounge as they enjoy some pizza.

Eden is running a fever. The port is in place and she has had her first chemo treatments. Pray that the fever will go away. Each time a nurse comes to check Eden's vital signs, it is a small trauma for her. Pray that she will be able to distinguish between the "harmless" treatments and those that might cause some pain or discomfort.

  2. Kurt, you are always so good at entertaining Eden, and those of us who are fortunate enough to be around as well. I'm sure you've already given the hospital staff some laughs too. I think we need a picture or video of the whole infant bed with canopy and eating pancakes thing. I can only imagine... and it makes me smile. This blog is a neat way to share precious moments with Eden. Many, many more wonderful times are yet to come. Carmen

  3. Way to go Kurt! What a Daddy won't do for his daughter! We are so happy to hear that today is behind everyone! We pray for a restful night for everyone.
    Love,

  4. Eden is so fortunate to have you for her parents, Kurt and Selena. Parents that love her and love the Lord. We can also be thankful for all the treatments that they have available now to help her. That is one reason why I have done the daffodils for the ACS for so many years. They are making progress. Praise the Lord! Love, Ken & Connie
