Well, after a scary day like yesterday, today may seem like a walk in the park. Lenette is recovering nicely still in ICU. She will be moved to oncology today as soon as a bed opens up.
Dr. Adrian says there is no reason to think that the ruptured vein episode will happen again, but he did give her some things to watch for. The biggest thing is that Lenette knows her body and she knew when to ask for help. She is a very smart lady!
Cody spent the night with her and David is at the hospital now. The boys are doing a great job keeping her company!
Dr. Adrian says that today is a day of rest, get her transferred to oncology and then tomorrow she will have the periocentisis (removal of the fluid from her her belly).
Please continue to lift Lenette in prayer today as I know you all are. Specifically, pray that they can get on top of the pain that she is in. She can handle so very much, but the pain really gets her down. Also pray that her esophagus will heal adequately and that no more ruptures will occur. Please pray for David as he is struggling with his asthma; this is always a concern for Lenette.
And pray that peace will surround her today so that she will be completely rested for tomorrows procedure. And thanksgiving to our wonderful God for putting Lenette in the right place at the right time yesterday. That previously scheduled trip to Indy might have proven fatal had we been on the road. I continue to be amazed at His ultimate wisdom!!
Lenette asks that she have no visitors today and that phone calls be saved for another day. She knows that you are all out there praying and lifting her up; that is the best thing we can do for her today. She is where she needs to be.

Hi Lenny, I am so very sorry to hear about all that has happened in the last several months. I work in the city and am not to far from St. Pat's church.

Hi Len -
I am so sorry that you have really been struggling with health the last few weeks. If anyone can overcome the pain and obstacles, though, I know that you can! Thirty years after I met you, you remain a role model. Keep being positive and strong - you have many people praying for your improved health.

Lenette I had been wondering how you were doing. I was very sorry to read about what you are going through and especially sorry for your pain. You have endured a lot. Reading your blog your courage and faith touches me deeper then you could ever imagine. I still remember all our fun family times and I'm sorry I have not been out to see you.
Love your cousin,
Laurie
