Yesterday morning, I took Keegan in bright and early for weight, labs, and his pentamadine treatment. His weight was the same, but it was on a different scale. We're going to see what he weighs back on the cardiology scale on Tuesday. ...
Keegan had a much better report at clinic yesterday morning. His liver function was improving, his electrolyte levels were stable, his red and white counts looked great (for him), and one specific type of white cell that he has never, I repeat never, had...
Keegan is still thankfully outpatient. The labs drawn Friday afternoon that were back by the evening didn't look much different, but as our doctors said, it is difficult to admit him based solely on labs. Thank God for that! I know that...
Keegan definitely needs your prayers now. We did end up going in for a lab draw this morning. He had handled his overnight feeds fine and woke up in a good mood. He handled his lab draw pretty well, and we noticed...

Well, I think we actually have a plan for Keegan's teatment for the first time in the last 143 days we've been inpatient since September! Yes, you read that right. We had a very productive meeting with Keegan's team this afternoon, and while...
