This past weekend was fun and happy in the midst of a difficult time. We had a family weekend by going to Chicago to take Elyse to the Shedd Aquarium. It was fun for us to see her watch the fish, monkeys, and all the people.
Our trip served a dual purpose. We went up on Sunday night went to Shedd Aquarium and ate at Tuscany in Little Italy where we finished our meal with an sweet cannoli. The next day we had to take Elyse to University of Chicago, Comer's Children Hospital where she had to have a DMSA scan done on her kidneys. It was a fun weekend but also scary.
Elyse did very well with the IV they put
in her foot and all the wires they had on her. The hardest part is when
they gave her the sedation drug and she went to sleep and no longer was
responsive to our voices or kisses. Then they took her from us which was
also another difficult step, but through it all spouse and I tried to
keep everything in perspective. There were other children there for
their one of many cancer treatments they had been undergoing. We are so
grateful in knowing that Elyse's condition can be fixed, but spending
time with the other children who were there made us realize and thank
God for His grace that He continues to show us in the everyday trials we
face.
