Keegan's fever. It's back. Ugh. Last night for several hours, Keegan would momentarily start crying and moaning in his sleep, intermittently saying "help, Daddy!" I think it just about completely broke Gray's heart. It was hard to turn off my mama instinct that something was...
I really should stop promising a time or date for a post. Sorry about that. After a whirlwind day yesterday and not getting up from anesthesia until almost 5pm, Keegan was discharged last night - in rush hour traffic, of course. But the important thing...
Keegan just came back to his room after having a PICC line placed in his arm. This was his 40th round of general anesthesia. He's not even 4 years old. This time, he had a little oxygen dependency for about an hour afterward, but it...

It was a very long day with a lot of information to process. The team kinda wanted to keep him another day, but we decided to come home tonight. Even though it was another rush-hour discharge that brought us home right before bedtime.Keegan's heart function...
We finally got an IV in Keegan's left hand after a good dose of valium. Labs, 2 x-rays, and an initial surgical consult later, he was finally asleep for the night around midnight. At one point, the IV team looked up as he fought them...
I couldn't make this you-know-what up if I tried! A short recap of the last four days:FRIDAY: In the morning, I went to the dermatologist due to what appeared to be a breakout of hives all over my torso. To be sure it wasn't infectious...
