April 2012

Audrey threw a little tea party for her babies while I packed up our bags for this hospital stay.  These pictures were too cute not to share tonight.  Hope they bring a smile to you the same way they did for me!  This just tickles...

A call from the transplant team at 5:30am on a Sunday is never good.  Evidently, the culture from yesterday grew back positive too.  It's quite confusing due to the nature of the specific organism that keeps growing out, but we are hoping that it is...

We did it! The heart transplant and rheumatology teams reacted quickly to this flare, and we slowed it down dramatically. Keegan and Gray spent all morning in the Legacy ER. We redrew labs and blood cultures. Every level we would expect to change in...

Keegan and Audrey may not have been able to meet Mickey while at Disney World.No matter.  Mickey came to them!  In three different, really sweet ways.  On Friday, the Mouse himself showed up to visit Keegan and Audrey both!(SHHH! Mickey is actually my cousin Ben!...

I have a fun post for tomorrow.  Some really special people have done some really special things for Keegan and Audrey due to the untimely end of our Make-A-Wish trip.  More on that tomorrow.For tonight, could you join us in a few prayers for Keegan's...

The flight team came to get Keegan and me at about 11:30pm. The flight went fine, and we arrived back to Children's in Dallas around 4:00am. Keegan is doing ok; fever seems to have broken. Labs look worse this morning, but it's not as bad...

I guess Keegan's body wasn't quite ready for Disney World. He spiked a high fever last night, so here we sit at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital instead of making memories at the Magic Kingdom. Still in the same clothes we arrived in.  Another flare. ...
