Smiling and getting stronger

They have removed her epidural this morning. Because she still has some drainage from the surgery, they have decided to keep the chest tube in for another day and hopefully remove it tomorrow. She continues to improve and is walking the halls to get stronger and now eating a regular diet. She continues to amaze us by her will and determination. Kendall you make us all so proud. You are the strongest person I know. Keep fighting. Her smile keeps us all going forward. Thanks for all the well wishes.

    Kendall, I can definitely know and believe that if it is in your mind to get up and get walking right now, then “You Are Going To Walk”. When you were a baby and just starting to pull up to couches, furniture. I went by your house one day after work and your Mom & I were down in the den watching you. I said “Its not going to be long till she tries to walk”, then your Mom said “Yes I think she is ready to take her first step any day now” You looked at both of us, let go of the couch, walked the full length of the den, through the door, through your Dad’s office, then through the Utility Room, –Without stopping or falling once. Your Mom and I followed you with disbelief and you finally stopped when you got to the outside basement door, turned and laughed and laughed , as if saying I heard you all say I was ready. You are ready now , I know you and that determination again. We love you and miss you so much. Nana and Frank

    Kendall: You are such an inspiration to everyone you come in contact with. Keep fighting Kendall, we are all praying for you. I want you to keep this Bible verse in mind while you are fighting. Philippians 4:13–I can do all things through Christ which strentheneth me. Kendall, let Him be your strenth and know he has already fought the fight for you, you are the winner Kendall. We are praying for you.

    Kendall-
    Stan Seymour had posted on facebook he had put a single electric candle in his home window in honor of you. This past weekend I put one in my home window and my mother’s window. Please know those candles symbolize the smile you have that has lit so many lives. May their light shine brightly to bring you home soon and our hope is others will add a “Kendall light” to their own home. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family!
