Kevin is still battling a fever. Yesterday he up around 103 a lot and that was pretty scary and uncomfortable for him. He also started having "gut issues". His whole body rash has gotten worse too.
Kevin was able to sleep a bit last night. Hard to do between the nurse visits and him having to get to the bathroom. :( But he slept in between those interruptions.
Good news about the fever is that once over night he got down to 99.7. But he got up to 101.6 again and that is the magic number for them to take another blood culture. Did that about an hour ago. But at least over night he wasn't up to 103.
He is now in isolation because of the stomach issue. So everyone that comes in has to be fully gowned etc.
We just realized that his hair is starting to come out this morning. I was starting to wonder if that would be happening or not.
I'll let you know any changes as they happen. But this morning he looks better than he has in several days. He is talking and looking alert!
Blessings,
Kathy

Praising the Lord that he's feeling a little better today. May God continue to give his grace to you in this situation. Praying for the fever to go down and for his blood cell count to begin going up. Hang in there!! "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired... but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." Isaiah 40:29-30 Lord, we know that this waiting, watching, at times is draining on Kathy and Kevin. Help them to get some much needed rest today. Father, we continue to ask that you have your healing hand on Kevin. Father, just continue to give him strength. Lord help the white blood cells to come back and fight this infection. Father, help the doctors figure out what is causing his rash. Lord we praise Your name. You are extravagant in Your love, fill Kathy and Kevin to overflowing. We are so grateful for all that you have done, that you continue to do. In Christ's precious name, AMEN
Agreeing with Mary in prayer and thanksgiving ~ loving you from across the miles! ((( hug )))
