Title: Jenna's adventure in Paris
Post by: okarol on October 17, 2009, 11:37:05 AM
After years of illness, and 3 years on dialysis, Jenna is doing great since her kidney transplant 2 1/2 years ago. Accompanying her to France was great, it left me feeling reassured that she will do fine. There is a posse of mom's there who will keep a silent watch over her and that has given me such peace.
Jenna signed up for intensive French classes as well as cooking workshops. I hope she spends every day doing something new!
This photo is one of our last days together. She will be home for Christmas, hopefully with lots of stories to share!

She will do wonderfully and grow so much while she is there.  It is a marvelous place for her to try her wings and see all the world has to offer.  Good for you for making this opportunity happen for her  :2thumbsup;

Over two years already - wow! 

I am intensely jealous - cooking classes in Paris would be heaven!

okarol,

Just think the food Jenna will be able to cook when she returns.  And the sampling that will be going on in your house about Christmas time!

Congratulations on setting her free and setting her on an adventure of a lifetime!

Is so nice to see happy results from a transplant and to see such a great picture.  How fabulous for Jenna.   :bandance;

Just look at our Jenna!!!  As others have said, she is looking so beautiful and so healthy! And she is in my favourite place in the world!  When she comes back I will be able to communicate with her in French!
