Well, I think I was wrong. Kevin's head did come down a tiny little bit overnight so it really might have just been a gauge issue. I am keeping my fingers crossed on it.
I noticed today too, that all of his pain isn't just from his head. If you remember, they took him off of the spasticity medication and he has been having a TON of spasms and shakes in his right arm and leg. Every time he does spasm, he moans so it might be that as well. I will hit the doc with that one in the morning as that doc was out for the weekend and through tomorrow.
This is going to be a very short post as I am just so tired. I do want to thank everyone for keeping my dad in your thoughts too. He is home now - Breezy went and picked him up at the hospital and took him out for dinner.
Oh and Brenda - the package arrived today! Thanks so much!
I will catch up with y'all tomorrow night.
First 2 from the Nov kit!

I am praying that the shunt is not having anymore problems and I am hoping for the best. I am astonished by the huge strides that Kevin has made. I am currently trying to save enough money to come see Kevin and all of you. I'm hoping to have enough by December to come over my christmas break from school. I will have to get in touch with you though and see when it is a good time for you guys. Kevin is so lucky(and I'm so happy) that he has you and Breezy to stand by his side through all of this. You are an incredibly strong person. Keep fighting KEV!
SO glad your dad is doing better!
Leslie,
You continue in our prayers. The exhaustion is a constant enemy and I'm specifically praying for great sleep for you every chance you get. It's a lot like when they are newborns-you gotta sleep when they do because you never know the next time you'll have a chance! Your being such a great advocate and caregiver for Kevin and the range of emotions flooding you right now can be overwhelming itself.
This is very unimporttant, but if you get a moment would you mind letting me know if you received the cd's. The tracking said it was delivered on the 8th, but that was the day after I ordered, so I wanted to follow up.
Thankful you Dad is home and that Breezy is able to spend some time with him.
Blessings,
Mel
I don't have any inspirational words here except that I don't know you guys but I love ya! A question that might be awkward but...do you need anything? I was thinking maybe certificates to a store or restaurant nearby. Or some items you need on an ongoing basis but can't get?
Hugs to you and those great kids of yours,
Cathy M

The reduced swelling would be an answer to prayer! Poor guy, I'll be praying for the spastic pain he's having. Take care!
I know something they need.
Leslie, I'm whispering now so don't listen!
It's a surprise. You can email me at Tinkert53@yahoo.com if you want to know what it is.
