A video made for Kendall by Tony Ferrari.

Thanks so much to the great nurses on the Thoracic Stepdown unit at Duke. Especially Krystle and Emily. All of the nurses on the floor helped make this an easier ordeal with the special care you gave to Kendall. Thanks again to Dr D’Amico and his talented team for helping Kendall with her illness.  After her x-ray today they released Kendall to go home.  They feel her lung will fully expand on its own and heal itself. She will be resting for the next couple of weeks and will return to Duke for a follow up appointment. At this time we will decide her next move towards becoming cancer free. For all of you supporting Team Kendall, we felt your presence with us in our time of need. It is so comforting to know we are not alone in this fight. God Bless you all. It’s because of your encouragement that we are able to stay strong and Fight Like A Knight. Godspeed, The Baynes

Late this morning Kendall had her chest tube removed. This has helped to make her more comfortable. She has been able to catch up on some much needed rest. She continues to walk and is coughing to help her lungs recover. We made sure she had plenty of candy and helped her celebrate Halloween.  Kendall didn’t dress up but then again she wears her costume everyday…. “a hero.” We hope to be home soon. Thanks to everyone for supporting Team Kendall. The Baynes

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 is walking the halls and moving around and sitting up today. She is doing good and hopefully tomorrow they will remove the chest tube. She is tuff and fighting so hard to get better. Thanks so much for all the nurses taking care of her in surgical & ICU. Special thanks to Krystle, Emily and Shannon in stepdown for making her comfortable and helping her recover. Thanks to everyone for wishing her well. It helps us all stay focused and determined. We appreciate it. The Bayne’s

Kendall is now resting in the stepdown unit. The Dr was able to remove all of the nodules in her left lung. Fortunately there was no other disease detected during her surgery. She is in some pain but for what she has been through is doing great. She currently has a chest tube in place and we hope to have it removed within a day or two. I told her everyone is asking about her and she said to tell everyone thanks. We will be at Duke for a few days and then return home for her to recover. We are very thankful for Dr D’Amico and his team for helping Kendall remove this disease. Thanks to everyone who keeps praying for Kendall. This is round 1 on her way to being cancer free. Thanks and Go Team Kendall!

God Bless, JB
