quick update

Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers. The chest x-rays came back clean – no pneumonia. Kev didn’t get moved into a room until Friday evening, so we spent a very uncomfortable Thursday night in the “holding area” of the ER. His white blood cell count was very high and considering the other symptoms the Drs. were convinced he had an infection – likely sepsis (blood infection). Now, after two days on the broad-spectrum antibiotics his white count is normal and the Dr has said he can likely go home tomorrow as long as there is no evidence of fever or "altered mental status". Red blood cell counts have continued to decrease so they’ll do a transfusion later today.
