Day 150 - Oct 28, 2008

Kevin had a rough morning today between the vomiting and the pain. I think I jinxed us when I said it was all under control. The docs are planning to run some sort of test to see what could be causing the vomiting as there just doesn't seem to be a pattern. At first, I really thought it was from taking his meds on an empty stomach, but his stomach is never empty anymore so that's just not it.

He did get better this afternoon and we did get him up and we went down to the house for dinner. We are sorta settling into a routine for the evenings and that's kinda nice. I wish there was a way to have a routine during the day, but it is like a zoo here. It's just not possible.

I am going to cut it kinda short again tonight as Kevin is already sleeping and I want to visit with Chrissy and Drew while they are here visiting.

But before I go, someone asked for a refresher on who Joel is...he was also hurt in an attack, but I believe it was in Iraq. We met his family while in Texas and became close friends. I am excited to see what changes are in store for him too.

Oh - and one more thing...we have received quite a few boxes of goodies this week. From the yummiest choc chip cookies to a whole box of Steelers goodies to Halloween candy and so much more. Kevin is in heaven! Y'all would laugh hysterically if you could see his face when he gets gifts. Thanks everyone so very much. It makes me happy to see him happy!

Leslie,
I wanted to give you a heads up that I'm going to call you tomorrow. Been working on a little surprise for you and Kevin, but need to talk with you to work out the details. Got your number from a mutual friend at BAMC. I think you'll be excited!

Leslie,

Just a quickie..but a thought. You mentioned a few posts ago that Kevin had vertigo. That will make you sick to your stomach. It can come and go depending on your head position.

I've had this a couple of times. It only bothered me when my head was in a certain position. The whole room would spin and you do feel sick to your stomach.

It seems to be a fairly common thing, but once you get it.. you seem prone to have it come back from time to time.

Janet Jackson just canceled a concert performance because she was having a bout with vertigo. It sent her to the hospital.

Hope they figure this out and that tomorrow is a good one.

Praying for you all. Goodnight.
