Today is Wednesday and Bernadette was excited about going to ballet for the first time since thee first time back on October 1st. Unfortunately as the time drew near to get ready to go, Bernadette had absolutely no energy and decided maybe she should stay home until next week. Then right at 4:00pm when the class was starting she changed her mind and decided to go after all. ARG. But she now understands she has to wait another week.
She does have one thing to look forward to though. Johanna bought the movie “How to Train Your Dragon 2” and they’re going to watch it tonight. Last night she enjoyed watching “Frozen” with big brother Paul. Pretty much just the two of them. Paul said she was a constant commentary through the whole thing.
Unfortunately after a great day yesterday, she started experiencing some sharp pain in the liver area in the evening and did NOT like the morphine we gave her. She’s decided she’d rather be in pain than take morphine.
This afternoon we had a visit from a nurse from Vernon who is going to help us meet Bernadette’s needs. Her name is Katie and she’s extremely nice. Marc was very relieved that we’ve made contact and that he has a sense of what they’ll help with. As always, we’re just a phone call away from Canuck Place for questions, concerns, or need immediate help.

Hello Bernadette, My name is Rose Kalin. My husband Rodney and I live on a farm in Armstrong. We have 2 Jersey cows and a 6 month old calf named Konni. We also have 2 goats, a dog, 2 cats, 5 kittens, a horse, a rooster named Bertram and 20 laying hens. All of our animals have names except the 20 hens. We have 6 children and you may have met some of them. Maria, Austen and Kathleen are friends with your brothers Paul and Joseph. Then we have Elizabeth-16, Julia-13 and Noah-9. We are praying for you.
