1 step forward...2 steps back.

I just got a call from Kevin's surgeon..

His final results have come back and he does not have a blood infection so some good news but they are still concerned with Kevin's movement and responsiveness. His fever is jumping again between 101 and 102...probably from the pneumonia as they origionally thought.

They are going to take Kevin back to do another angiogram a little bit later. This is the same procedure they did the other day where they go through the groin and up into the brain to inject medicine into the smaller blood vessels that appear to be clamping down and now allowing the blood flow that he needs. They think this is the reason he has not been moving his arms and legs like he was at first. He said this time it wouldn't be as invasive, because he won't have to insert any balloons into the larger blood vessels and he's just going to be injecting the smaller ones that seem to be causing the problem with medicine to get them to plump up. They will take him back in a few hours and the procedure will take about 3 to 4 hours. He will have to recover from the anesthesia before I can see him so I will update you later on today when I know more.

Please pray that Kevin gets through this one again without a problem and they actually find what they are looking for to fix it. Please also pray for Maya as she is a little bit sickey too (as she says) it looks like she has pink eye and will be going to the doctor tomorrow also.
