Day 195 - Dec 12, 2008

I am not going to be able to write anything tonight. Kevin is back in ICU and there is no internet in that room. I left Breezy and Mathew with Kevin while Moe and I went to dinner real quick and then I am heading back to spend the night with him. (obviously Moe is here to visit - yay!!)

Suffice it to say, I have been on the rampage all day. I have told everyone and their mother off. I even called the chief of staff of the whole hospital a fucking moron to his face. And he is. I am tired of Kevin being mistreated and ignored during a serious crisis. The buck stops here!!

So, hopefully I will have a chance to catch everyone up on everything tomorrow. You are all going to have to excuse my french, but this weekend it's gonna fly!

Leslie,

Praying for Kevin...ICU again...YIKES. I'm glad he's there..hopefully getting the care he needs.

Is it just my imagination or wasn't it the last time Moe came for her vacation to visit...it ended up being a tragedy for Kevin and you did not visit ? It was so good she was there though..when you need an extra shoulder to lean on and hold you up.

I sure hope this gets taken care of soon. I cannot even begin to imagine how Kevin must be feeling or how on edge you, Brianna and the rest must be.

It makes you wonder if the hospital suspected something like this could happen and maybe that's why they didn't want him to go out to Disney. He has seemed so good for so long. Hopefully this setback will get things fixed once and for all.

God Bless you all and know you have your support system behind you all the way.

You're a very good Mother and the sisterly love Brianna has for Kevin is written all over BOTH of their faces in the wonderful pictures you share with us.

Thanks again to that wonderful man who gave you the camera.

STAY STRONG..or at least attempt to in these trying times.

Don't even worry about letting the french fly...if that's what it takes to get Kevin taken care of, I'd be using more than french if I was in your position.

Sending a ton of thoughts and prayers your way. I really hope everything works out quickly and Kevin can get the procedures he needs done without you having to throw a fit just to get some attention.

Hey Les,

It was good talking to you tonight. I wanted you to know how much we all love you 3 and are thinking about you! I felt your frustration and anger thru the phone, and I wish I were there to help you thru this! I am so glad Moe is there with you right now! Please stick to your guns and I know you will get Kevin the care he needs and deserves!

Don't worry about cussing on here. This is YOUR website, and you do what you want! You are frustrated and angry and you need to vent. Vent away!

I told the family what is happening and they wanted me to pass on that we love and support you! We only want the best for Kevin and you and Breezy! Please know we are thinking about you 3 and sending all our love!!

STAY STRONG, NEVER GIVE UP, AND KEEP FIGHTING!!!!!! Hang in there Kevin! Better days are to come!

EXTRA healing and positive thoughts for Kevin.
EXTRA strength and comfort for Leslie and Breezy.
Safe thoughts for all military personnel and strength for their families.

I am so sorry to hear Kevin is going thru such a horrible time again and is in ICU. People can only imagine what you and Breezy are going thru, especially when you don't feel he is getting the care he is entitled to!
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers thru this time of need! God Bless!

I have no idea how I came to your blog, which I have been impressed by the courage and strength of Kevin as both of you, I have no way of helping them, we are very far from here but my prayers, especially today the Virgin of Guadalupe, to whom I am in my prayers.
I will continue her blog, to know how it will evolve Kevin, you receive my sincere admiration.
finally apologize to handle English, but use an online translator, because my knowledge of the language is still weak.

You go, girl. It's time. You played nice through pulled sitters, sleeping sitters, lack of info being transfered, and orders to dress in uniform. The human brain is the consistency of half set jello and they are willing to let presssure build up on an already injured brain? THrow the fear of Mom into them. Go so the boss, then go see his boss.

So sorry to read Kevin is in the ICU, but hope this means he is being monitored much more carefully. Can't even imagine the battles you're fighting and have been fighting for months. Lots of thoughts and prayers for you, Breezy and Kevin.

Leslie,
I hope Kevin being in ICU will get your questions answered and get something done to alleviate some of the pressure,pain etc that Kevin is going through right now.
This is your place to express how you are feeling so don't apologize to us;go ahead and vent!!!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers today and everyday.

So sorry to hear that Kevin is in ICU, but at least there you know he will be given constant attention and care. I know it's upsetting and discouraging especially if you think all of this could have been avoided if the doctors had done things differently.

It is good that you are speaking up and letting your complaints and opinions be heard. I believe, unfortunately,the only way we can get a fair deal in pretty much any situation(especially hospitals) is to be very vocal. It's too bad that one has to become nasty to get attention, but if that's what it takes, then that's what you do!!

I'll be anxious to hear how Kevin's doing and I'll sure be praying and thinking of all of you.

Speak all the French that you want, s'il vous plait! Good grief I have no idea how you've held off on that until now!

We're all out here praying for you and praying with you Leslie & Breezy & Kev. And we're all sending the biggest bear hugs on the planet to you all as well. May God bless you all and give the massive amounts of strength that Kevin will need to conquer this obstacle, and for the massive amounts of strength that you and Breezy need to get through this and kick butt. And you all WILL CONQUER!

Leslie,
You have to be absolutely exhausted. Keep fighting the fight, because you are doing what you are supposed to do. Your children mean everything to you, and getting Kevin healthy is what you are doing, if you have to kick some ass on the way "Go Ahead." Everyone's goal should be the same, and if their's aren't, then you remind them. Daily if you have to.

Ms. Kammerdiener,

I dont even know where to begin right now...I spoke with you last night. I cant mention the name of the company you called but you know who (wink, wink) It was probably between midnight and 1am. I was just so moved by your story that I have not been able to stop thinking about you and your family. When we ended our call last night I imediatly had to google Kevins name and sure enough there it was....link after link...article after article. So I found your blog and I have been reading every entry from the begining. It is now
10:00 am friday morning, I got off of work at 5:00am and I havent been able to step away from the computer since I got home. I am only on day 100. 100 days of of the hell you have been living. God bless you, Kevin and Breeze!!! That is all I can really say. And I am only half way through what you have been through. I just cant express enough my feelings for what you are going through and the gratitude for son that I have. You and your family will be in our prayers each and every day. My children and I will say a prayer for Kevin, the brave Soldier who was fighting a war for the safety and freedom of myself, my children and my country!!! I have to get some sleep now but I will be reading the next "chapter" when I get back up and I will be adding this blog to my favorites so I can follow Kevins progress. You take care of yourself and thankyou for sharing your story and your journy with all of us. God Bless!
