Kevin was readmitted to the hospital today. It turns out that his kidneys are not working correctly and we need to keep a close watch on him and also try to figure out what is going on.
I wish I could tell you what this really means, but at this point, I just can't. Infectious Disease is hoping it's just due to the amount of vancomyacin(sp) in his system, but we don't know for sure (especially as he's been off of it for 2 days now). Today we are running fluids through him to see if it makes a difference - I sure hope it does.
So that's really about it. I felt bad because the hospital had been calling all morning to tell me to bring him in, but I had to have my phone on silent overnight because of Kevin's over-stimulation. I never even thought about it until almost lunchtime and I looked at the phone. Duh!
But I guess it didn't make much of a difference anyway. He's here and all hooked up to the IV now so all is good. As good as can be, anyway...

You've certainly hit a lot of rough patches in this roller coaster ride as of late, Leslie. My heart goes out to you all.
Thinking about you.
Oh Leslie, I sure hope things turn around soon for both you and Kevin. Makes you wonder when will it ever stop! And I wanted to say also...everyone deserves to have a pity party for themselves once in a while....you moreso than alot of others! Take care and my prayers go out to you and your family.
Sending prayers...

Sounds like the docs are giving Kevin a kidney challenge? Vancomycin is such a powerful medication. Are the docs holding off on treating the MRSA until the kidney issue is resolved? Thinking of you and Kevin. Lifting prayers for your family.
Many, many prayers still continue for you all. Love and hugs...always...
You all are in my thoughts and prayers Les. C'mon Kev, hang in there and fight it kiddo. You've done it before, and you can do it again! We all love you and are keeping positive and healing thoughts for you and praying for you.
BIG HUGS AND ALL MY LOVE TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sending prayers on angels wings...
I've been thinking about Kevin all day and praying that his kidneys will bounce back. I'm glad they caught the problem and that he's being treated. Don't feel bad about having your phone off. You have enough on your mind! Hang in there. I'll be thinking about you and praying for you both.
