Update #100 on Kevin

Update 100......not sure what I think about the fact, that we have done 100 of these.  Or the fact that this has lasted so long that we needed to do 100 of these.  But here we are.  The weekend was full, but I'll try to be short.

We got a call on Wednesday from the Medical Equipment company.  He told me that he received the paperwork from Meadowbrook and that he didn't think that there was any way that Kevin's insurance would pay for a air lossless mattress.  He started telling me about a backup bed, that is similar to a memory foam mattress.  I told him that we did not feel comfortable moving forward without talking with case managers who were already gone for the holidays.  We will be dealing with that today.

Thanksgiving turned out really good.  The family spent the day up at Meadowbrook with Kevin.  Angie's sister, Mary Ann, organized a thanksgiving feast for our family.  Family and friends helped make a dinner so special that it helped to salve the knowledge of where we were eating it at.  We ate Crackerbarrel for dinner and played games together.  We hope your Thanksgiving was at least as special.

Kevin is still throwing up.  It happened late Saturday night.  They aren't sure why.  We need to understand why he is throwing up before we bring him home.

He continues to have a cough too.  These coughing spells will go on for as long as 45 minutes, where is coughing up some stuff, but not always.

Our mom, Jeanne, got admitted to St. John's Hospital last night.  She has been having redness and swelling in one of her legs for a few days and got it checked out.  It is some kind of infection.  They are doing tests and cultures on her.  I think she is in room #1242.

The heater stopped working last night at Kevin's house.  It sounds like it is still coming on, but no air is coming out.  It was 60 degrees this morning.  This obviously needs fixed before Keving can come home.

Kevin has an eye doctors appointment today.  He will be checking the progress on Kevin's right eye.  It has gotten a little better, but still stays red, even with the eye ointment in on a regular basis.

Lots to do, lots more than this that I am writing too.  Thanks for your prayers.

And thanks for reading,
Matt, Angie and family
