Update on Kenny -- He is Doing SOOO Good!!




"We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties ~ Oswald Chambers"

Hi Everyone –

Below is the latest update from Melinda pertaining to Kenny as of Sunday Afternoon


“Hello everyone,

Sorry I haven’t updated all of you sooner. I get so turned around and upside down it’s a little hard to figure out what I did when. Kenny is doing so good!! He still insists on getting out of bed for every meal even though it totally wears him out. He even sometimes falls asleep between bites (which is actually pretty funny) but he keeps pushing himself. His spirits are good for the most part but he is frustrated with it all, which is certainly understandable.

They took the drains out of his chest last night so he’s a lot more comfortable now and able to move around a little better. He still uses his “EZ Button” quite a bit but told me he didn’t use it at all through the night last night so that’s a good sign. The blood doctor came in again today and said that his platelets look good and that he is doing fine. It still baffles them as to why his blood won’t thin out but we won’t know the outcome of the big blood tests they did for a couple of weeks yet. That will hopefully bring a long term solution but in the meantime they are “managing it”.

It is our hope to know more tomorrow when we see his surgeon again. I’ve never looked forward to a Monday before but am looking forward to tomorrow when the hospital comes back to life a little. We are obviously anxious to learn what to expect in the short term as far as how long he will have to be in ICU and then of course the long term.

I will let you all know what we find out! Thanks once again for all the good thoughts and prayers! We love you all!”
