Question & Answer Session Aug 11

Linda and I were able to sit in on the resident rounds today and ask some questions.  Apparently, we were given mis-information, and Kevin is not on a low setting on the vent.  He is breathing on his own, but the vent is supporting him quite a bit.  The doctor explained that his lungs are like a new balloon, and not quite stretched out yet to function.  They’re not sure why this is: whether it’s from fluid, infection or just the cancer.

There are still no answers about his fever, it could be caused by infection or by the tumor.

He is developed a fungus in the area, but he is and has been on an anti-fungul that should combat that.  Kevin i resting comfortably now after having a CT scan today.  It did show some fluid again in his lung, so they may again do a drain.

He is holding steady and was quite awake and talkative earlier, which was nice.  We are just waiting on the answers for the biopsy and cancer results and treatment decisions.

Please pray for understanding and guidance, as well as calmness in all of us.  Thank you everyone!
