Milestone: Lunch date outside of the hospital

Just look at this picture from our lunch date today. Ain't she cute? Whether you've been praying, giving medical care, or supporting her in any of the other ways, you've had a hand in making this moment. Thank you!
She threw up just a little bit before we even ordered. We like to think it was attributed to her being shaken up like a can of soda while going over all the brickwork & pavers during the wheelchair ride to the restaurant. But after that, she was fine. Tempura veggies, chicken satay, pad thai noodles, iced tea, coconut & Thai tea ice cream... it all went down happily and stayed put. When a person's as weak as Denise is, it's a workout just sitting up for long periods of time. So by the time we got back to the hospital she was ready for a long nap. Today was a big milestone and morale booster for her. Me too.
Oh, yes, she did like the dress that I brought. And that hat just about screams "My Fair Lady," don't you think?
