Last week Keegan was seen by his transplant team for their follow up.  It was a crazy period. Wednesday, he had his labs drawn.  One coagulated before it could be read and others put everyone on high alert due to increased Potassium and acidity issues.  Needless to say, his team became proactive and consulted with Nephrology.  Originally, we were on standby Wednesday night for a possible admission.  Luckily, as Randy and I had a double date with Alexis and Ben to go to dinner and the RAIN – Tribute to the Beatles show.    Thursday, he saw the team and had to get more labs and a renal ultrasound. Praise God the labs came back within normal limits.  His pulmonary function test was stable and his overall Frailty score had increased.  Overall though, Pulmonary Rehab has been a success and he is stronger when compared to previous tests.  This news is great and should help him be ready for surgery and rehab easily post transplant.  Just when we thought all was good, Keegan woke to a broken GJ tube on Friday.  Due to a busy hospital, it required us to be admitted for fluids until they could find him a slot in OR to replace it.   Pray hard that Keegan can get some positive needle/iv experience, so the trauma can be controlled easier.  For the first time in his life,  he accidentally hurt someone else due to his fear of needles.   The tube was replaced late Friday evening and we discharged on Saturday.  

After an uneventful and restful weekend – well what was left of it – he went back to school Monday and Tuesday.  Tuesday night, he came home from TaeKwondo not feeling so good.  He has tested positive for Flu A.  He is enjoying lying around in his room watching Emergency.   Prayers the high fevers, cough and blah feeling go away soon.  

In the meantime, we are gearing up and getting ready to climb the steps at TQL stadium for the Fight For Air Climb.  Keegan enjoys the day and can’t wait to see all his firefighter and first responder ‘friends’!
