Sleepy Time

Today has been an ok day so far.  We met with one of the fellows this morning and Kevin is finally getting a hickman port!  This is exciting, as he will no longer have to get regular IV's, except for 1 temporary one for the next week.  His chemo and other IV's will go directly into the hickman and it will last for about a month with very low chance of infection!  We originally though he would be getting a mediport, but it was decided with the chances of Kevin getting a fever in the next 48 hours, it would be best to do a more temporary hickman.

Kevin was unable to sleep last night due to anxiety, so they are giving him some meds for that starting this evening.  We are praying the meds help to relieve his anxiety and allow his body to get the rest he dearly needs.

I got to visit with my mom and sister today while Kevin got some cleaning up/chair time.  It was nice to see them again-we're finishing up the last minute details of the BBQ on Saturday and hoping all goes smoothly.  We'll all be relieved to be done with it, but I send a HUGE thanks to them for taking the reigns to it so I can be here with Kevin without worrying.

Kevin is hoping to get some rest this afternoon, but we're still waiting on the hickman to be "installed" either today or tomorrow.  In the meantime, leave some love for Kevin to read as he's anxious to hear from all of you!
