Good Afternoon! This morning BLEW past thankfully. Kevin didn’t get sleep, again, which was frustrating. However, the good thing is, he remained stable through the night! This morning he got a bronchoscopy (which is why I call him a Blue Man-his teeth are blue from the dye) to see if there are any leaks down his windpipe. They did find one irritated area that they aren’t sure is just an unusual port to the Lung, or something that shouldn’t be there. They added dye to the area, and took a CT scan, but there is still no official word.

Kevin’s red blood cell counts are good today, which is SO wonderful, and a huge improvement. He hasn’t needed blood now in almost 24 hours! The general surgeon and our great Dr. Kendra were in afternoon after the bronchoscopy and said that as long as things remain stable, they’d prefer to not do surgery and just see what happens. They will remain on call in case anything happens on an emergency basis, but in the meantime, they prefer to just keep things quiet, which we like.

They’re holding off on the red cell scan for now, so Kevin can just rest and relax, and because things are looking better. He’s also had no fever recently which is great. Honestly, the Dr.’s just don’t quite know what’s causing the bleeding into the belly yet, but today they’ll all put their brains together and hope to figure out a plan from here. But for now, we just wait!

Thank you all for your prayers and support. We’re pushing on, and waiting and resting, which is just good for both of us right now. We’re sick of surprises.

God is good.
