The Dr’s FINALLY made their rounds AROUND (hehe) 11:30! We got to meet a new gentleman to the “team”. The Fellows are switching (as they do every few weeks) so we’re losing our good pharmacist Leigh, and our great oncology Fellow Daniejla (whom I love dearly). It’s sad, but the new fellow (Kev calls him Allen from Two & A Half Men-haha) seems very thorough and on his game. The goals for today, or at least for over the weekend are:

-Get Kev off the oxygen
-Take Kev off the heart monitor
-Get Surgery to come in and take out the egg (or granade) drain from the stomach
-Flush the other stomach drain tube and hope that it doesn’t drain any more blood (this is the drain that’s putting out the fluid from the clotted area in the stomach)
-Move Kevin back to 5D (For this to happen-discharges need to occur, and no one of greater need than Kev needs to come through-right now-he’s top on the list, and we’re praying we get back over to 5D today!)
-Get PT in this weekend and have him walk!

These are some MAJOR MAJOR goal to happen, and quickly. I think the idea is, we had a BIG setback, but now it’s under control, he’s stable, so let’s bring him back to where he was and push on so if anything happens again, his body is better able to fight.

We’re fighting. Enjoying the rainy day here at Hopkins and our new routines. These are our new full time jobs: Patient and Supporter.
