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...
Ok, so Keegan technically made it 27 days without vomiting. We had a really great morning, exploring Boston Common, the Public Garden, and Newbury street (that's LOTS of walking, y'all) before the rain set in this afternoon. We made it back to the...

Ok, so after a few questions from some of Keegan's devoted fans, I realized that I needed to make some clarifications to the post about the plan. The question I was asked most was, "obviously, we've been trying to increase Keegan's feeds and get...
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...
Keegan has a PICC line now, but we're not too happy with it. This is really, really hard to explain to people who have never seen or dealt with one. It kinda looks like a massive IV line coming out of the crook...
