25 Dec Christmas Eve
It was a fairly quiet Christmas Eve here in the hospital. I suppose when it comes to Keegan, quiet is a good thing. We learned that the pseudomonas was susceptible to the IV antibiotic we had been using. However, Keegan's white count and ANC have...
24 Dec Pseudomonas
That's what it is. We don't know yet what the drug susceptibility is of this strain. We are hopeful the IV antibiotic we have been using will be the right one in the end, as the fever seems to have broken. We should know for...
23 Dec Long night, long day, line’s out
It was a terribly long night for our Bug. Temps over 105 multiple times overnight. IV tylenol (our old friend from last year) would not touch it, so we had to bring in a cooling blanket. He was shaking and throwing up from fever most...

15 Dec Disney on Ice
For some reason, I thought I posted this already. Oopsies, as Audrey would say!At Thanksgiving, Aunt Alex gave some pretty cool presents to the kids. She won tickets to a Stars game and a Zamboni ride for Keegan through a silent auction benefitting the nonprofit...

I don't have much to offer today, just a few tidbits.I broke our camera lens. Oops. Dropped it out of the diaper bag when Audrey and I went to visit my grandfather in the hospital. So we are a little wanting in pictures so far...
