Tina is still in the Napanee hospital awaiting her transfer to the Kingston hospital. She had a bit of a panic attack through the night. Mom went in the morning and then Jenn came later to let mom go home.
Jenn did a three way call with Carol and I to give us the update. Once she is transferred to Kingston (maybe tomorrow), she will have the feeding tube inserted surgically, and then when she is able, she will be sent back to the Napanee hospital.
Jenn said that she was in good spirits and ate some chicken pot pie and a muffin through the day. She will be getting ensure to supplement calories until she can get nourishment through the feeding tube.
The Queen seems to be back on her throne as she is starting to give orders about the birthday gathering on Saturday. The hospital has okayed her leaving for a few hours to enjoy the celebrations. If you are able to join in on this day, Tina will be thrilled to see you.
When: Saturday October 01
Time: 1-4pm
Where: Roblin Wesleyan Church
(Her actual 55th birthday is the 29th)
Cake and snacks will be provided!

Carol is counting down the days when she can be with Tina and the family. I hope the fall colours are brilliant this year for her time in Ontario.
We are on our second last day with Stephen and Kylie. This visit has been just what I needed.
You can’t let the rain storms of life constantly beat you down. Sometimes, you just need to put the raincoat on and enjoy life. Sometimes it will start to rain harder and sometimes you just might see the rainbow or maybe just a beautiful place to be.
We are STEELE standing…one day at a time, one hour and sometimes by one minute. As Casey posted on my Facebook page, “ Happy Birthday Penny! May you live all the days of your life! 😉” I’m trying to get back to that…to truly make the most of every day. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. We have found that out!!
