Kenny up date

Sorry it's been so long since last update. It's been crazy around here. Kenny is doing great! After about a week of being low key by choice he is now up and going full speed or at least trying. He's limited for up to a month which is hard on us all. After coming home on Friday we had two rough nights where I ended up sleeping next to him. Slowly during the week he got more energy and his head didn't hurt as much. He's now doing great! But we still need to keep him on the calm side.
Thank you everyone for your prayers they have been felt so much. Please keep praying as on the 16 of this month Kenny will get all the staples that they put in his head out. This will be hard on both him and I. And then on the 5th of Oct we will have an appointment with the Neurosurgeon.

We're home

We were able to come home last night! We got home around 6pm. Kenny went right to the couch in the living room asked for a juice box and just laid there quietly. He did eat a little mac and cheese last night. And he had a very unrestful sleep. I know because he was next to me all night. He woke up at 5:30 and after a trip to the bathroom he said his head hurt. So he is now resting on the couch in the family room after he got some montirn. Now the adventure begins please continue to pray for Kenny to get better. It is hard to see my very active little boy not wanting to do anything except rest. Though it is the best thing for him.

Over night and morning of day 2

Kenny was up and wake part of the night. Kevin and I took turns sleeping. He did ask for dinner but then didn't eat it. I reheat the mac and cheese 2 times and he still wouldn't touch it. Both times after he said he wanted it. Around midnight Kenny to off the bandage on his head. It was too tight according to him. Then there were labs around 5:30 and they had to draw blood. Not a happy camper then about an hour later one of the plastic surgeons came in and took the drain out. Again not happy. There is a good chance we could go home today. If Little man eats and can continue to keep it down. We are planning on taking a walk down to the coy pond later today and hopefully that will help him want to go home. Here to what the next few hours hold.

Afternoon of day 1 in hospital

Kenny has slept a big part of the day and isn't eating much of anything. He has had a popicle and that is it when asked if he wanted a milk shake he shook his head. We got him one anyway with hopes that once he see's it he will change his mind. Also he is getting puffier expecally around the eyes. The most that he has talked is when Memaw and Buppa came by with r2d2 toy for him. He needs to eat in order to go home. Please pray that he will get his appitite back.

night one in the hospital

Kenny slept most of the night. He threw up once. They will be moving us from the picu into the a room on the first floor. Both doctors have come in this mornign and talked to us and are happy with the procress he has made. He has yet to eat.
This morning at 4am he did ask to watch tv, :) and said he was thristy. He was able to drink some water and hopfully when he wakes back up we will be able to give him some juice. They are working on taking him off the mophanie and on to tynolal and motrian. We are paising God of all that he has done.

Kenny is in recovery! Things went well. Both the doctors said that it went according to plan. We are very thankful for that. The surgery it self took about four hours. He will be in recovery for about two hours and then in picu (pedicatric intesive care unit). Most likey we will be there just over night. WE will then transfer to a regular room. Where we will stay for two more nights. He does have his head wrapped and a drainage tube. Kevin and I want to thank everyone for there prayers and love it was so felt. I will keep you up dated on his process as it happens.

Mornign of surgery

Kenny's surgery is this morning. We will be leaving the house around 5:30 and they will start at 7:30 this morning. He will be in the operating room for 3 to 4 hours. Then to recovery to PICU and then a room. We are trusting our Lord Jesus as we wait. We know who is in control and who is not. Kenny is God's child and there for he will take care of him. We welcome your prayer as we trust in our all mighty Lord. Thank you
