I woke up after 7 and went up to brush my teeth. Renn and Kaylin came down shortly after. Kaylin made me a delightful coffee with Baileys, reminiscent of home. She also prepared scrambled eggs, toast, and orange slices for breakfast. Such fancy service. Renn sampled the eggs and licked the peanut butter off the toast. Meanwhile in the hospital, poor Nathan is still fasting, awaiting news on when his surgery will be scheduled.
Kaylin got ready and left for work around 9:30. Renn and I FaceTimed Grandpa who was still in bed at 10, who returned late from his road trip and the power plant tour. Renny and I had a fun morning playing as per usual.
Nathan texted that his surgery was postponed to December 17th after speaking with his surgeon. It's unfortunate that we'll be away, but I'm relieved they have a plan and he can return home today to the comfort of home. I offered to pick him up, but Renny was tired early today. He'll check out the new Arthur Child Cancer Center and wait for Kaylin to pick him up after work. Shaina FaceTimed a few times today, craving her Renn time after three weeks apart and seeking updates on Nathan. Speaking of which, the GoFundMe his brother initiated is gathering funds rapidly. It's heartwarming to see so many kind and caring people in the world. XOXO
Renn settled down for her nap just after 12. I proceeded to make a pot of hamburger soup. I forgot to send in my invoices but I managed to do so on my iPad, yay! Afterward, I tidied up the kitchen and toys, then bagged a dry load of towels for the shop. Kaylin washes approximately 35 pounds of white towels and facecloths every day!
Renn's nap was short today; she woke up after an hour, lay down again for 20 minutes, and then got up. I offered her some of the soup, but she was uncertain about it, and even the alphagetti was not appealing today. However, I managed to get her to eat a bit of cheese and a squeeze pouch.
Kaylin wrapped up work at 4:15, picked up Nathan from the hospital, and they arrived home before 5. Renn was thrilled to see her Mama and Dada return. Kaylin prepared a Fresh Prep meal for her and Nathan. I polished off the last of my Vietnamese from Tuesday. Renn and I bundled up and I ventured to the pharmacy to retrieve Nathan's prescription. It was -12 degrees, but calm with a gentle snowfall.

Back at the house, there was some playtime with Renn, followed by bath time. I bathed her, and Kaylin applied lotion and got her ready for dreamland. Nathan also crawled into his bed, which must have felt amazing after a week in a hospital bed. I worked on today's blog while watching more of "A Man on the Inside." K came down after her shower to warm up a bowl of apple crisps I had brought, and we watched some episodes together. She went to bed at 10 as I finished the finale. Afterwards, I started watching the movie "The Hustle" in bed for a while.
