Update on Kenneth's Health

Kenneth talked to the Oncologist a couple of days ago and he sent him to have an X-ray done of his chest. As it turns out, he has pneumonia. I actually felt great relief with this news; it means it can be treated with an antibiotic. Kenneth was a little worried by the news, and understandably so. He is just ready to be done with this whole experience, not have one more complication on top of it all. (Not to say he is not completely grateful for how smoothly it really has all gone considering)
Here we are now a couple of days after starting the antibiotic and Kenneth does feel a little better. He still has some pain, but not like it was before. Last week he said it hurt so badly to sneeze his body wouldn't allow it to happen. It would stop the sneeze before it could start!

In other news, we had a special visitor last night! Many of our friends in New York will recognize this guy:

Scott H. reading to the kids

The kids took right to him, as you can see, even letting him read the bedtime story! It was fun to share a meal and visit for a little while. I guess its one of the perks of living in such a busy place; we often get to see friends and family who travel here on business!

  1. Poor Kenneth with the pneumonia. Yuck! But at least he's on the mend now. I know he must be frustrated with doctor after doctor visit. Tell him to hang in there (and you too). I love keeping up on your blog - always look forward to my Larchar-fix.
