Day 707 - May 6, 2010

Kevin has had a couple of rough days. Yesterday we went out for a bit and Kevin was hurting so badly that I had to pull over numerous times and just sit there while he controlled the pain - or at least tried to. It's hard because we never know when it's going to hit. Sometimes we can be out and about for an hour or two and sometimes we can't even make it five minutes down the road.

Today I managed to get Kevin out of his room to eat dinner with Breezy and I. That was about it though. We tried to play Skipbo, but Kevin only made it about 7 minutes or so and then he had to get back to bed.

I just can't wait to get that plate put back in so we can resume our lives. It's just so hard watching him be sick and in pain all the time.

And that's really about it. It's hard sometimes to come up with things to say because we don't go anywhere or do anything. This is why the posts have been on the short side - which unfortunately, is exactly how it's going to be again tonight.

Miss Leslie,

I am an Air Force flight medic working in Aeromedical Evacuation - basically, we fly the guys and gals out when they need a higher level of care than what their base hospital can provide. Reading this blog and hearing of Kevin's progress is a blessing.. knowing that he is getting stronger every day gives me hope and reassurance that our troops are thriving after we hand off our "precious cargo" to the hospital personnel on the flight line.

Hang in there.

Leslie,

What exactly is causing the pain with his plate missing? Can you explain that a little more?

Thanks and I hope you have a good weekend.
