Keegan had his glo-fil today.  This test requires injecting a radioactive dye through his port, drawing labs at different intervals throughout the day, and then measuring the samples to see how well Keegan's kidneys clear the dye.  The end result is a percentage of remaining kidney function....

I titled this post as I did because Keegan did indeed come home this evening.  We're just a little unsure about whether or not he should be. After a very long night of watching for pee, it finally came late morning.  He's still very "positive",...

This picture pretty much sums up Keegan's day.  If he wasn't asleep, he wanted to be.  I guess sleep is good and helps you heal, so as long as he sleeps tonight too, we'll all be happy.  Other good news from today: cultures from Saturday...

Honestly, I should give up making promises about when I will update.  It really is near the top of my very long, ever growing list of self-improvements.  Seeing as I'm not getting very far on that front, you'll have to forgive me once again.  I...
