Good news! I just heard from the transplant coordinator on Keegan's labs from this morning. Kudos to the new phlebotomist at CMC Legacy for getting the blood on the first try! Poor Bug is bruised everywhere already - hands, feet, elbows. ...
Keegan is showing small improvements every day. His energy seems to have returned almost to normal. No fever, and his blood pressure is looking better. He still has a runny nose and the black tongue. He is eating slightly better, but...
Keegan was discharged late this afternoon, and we've been home since about 3:30pm. His labs were coming back together, so with a few med changes, they felt it was ok to send us home. The ID tests will take a few more days,...

We are home now. Keegan was still running a slight fever when we left the hospital, but it may take up to 48 hours for everything to kick in. He certainly seemed more like himself by the end of the day, even though...
We're updating tonight from the 8th floor of Children's. As we posted last, Keegan had been doing much better. Yesterday evening, he spiked a fever and became inconsolable. We took him back to the urgent care facility, and it appeared the ear...
