Kenny Update--March 25th

We are still here in the hospital. His fever has not been high but is on the antibiotics IV drip. Blood cultures have come back negative for infections and if tomorrow’s comes back negative then we will only need to wait for the white cell count to start increasing before we can begin our escape plans. His cough has been worse and has caused him to lose some of the food we have been able to get down him. A chest x-ray came back negative for pneumonia. He has a couple of mouth sores that are being treated – a side effect of the chemo treatment. Kenny has been napping A LOT of the time which is great.
His eating has been absolutely horrible – EVERYTHING taste gross - some more than others. The hospital actually has fairly decent food here but given that his taste are way off and the newness of this food is just way too much. So we have home cooking and boost in a fridge here and that should start an uptake in his eating.
Today has been a very laid back day. We were able to listen to a sermon from Calvary Chapel Kaneohe Hawaii this morning on the start of a 40 week lesson from Matthew. We really enjoyed it since this is the book that Bible Bowl is studying. It was even better that we were able to pause the sermon for the 3 interruptions that we had this morning.
I am going to ask everyone to pray for a little one next to our room. No details but he has been extremely ill and there have been a lot of medical personal in the room the last couple of hours. I caught a glimpse of Mom and it is just the helplessness of a parent that is so difficult to deal with. There is nothing that we can do – just the Master Physician. Thank You for your prayer support of our neighbor.
