It was a rough night, but we made it through. Perhaps Kev even got some sleep. Lots of questions were asked and answered so Kevin could "have some sort of plan". It was determined by a new doctor (who looks like the chubby fella in that old 'laurel and hardy' comedy show) that we had to stay one more night in the Hospital before a weekend home.
Although Kev is Neutropenic, he cannot receive the plasma booster shots that would lessen his time in neutropenia because his chemo schedule is so intense and overlaps. We also learned today that there will be at least one whole week of chemotherapy the the spine. This will be further determined after a spinal tap, but there are concerns about a numb spot on his face.
Kev is loosing some weight and now even loosing his appetite... but he's still looking good.

a.k.a. O Steve according to my nice new name tag. Talk to ya soon!
Kevin,
Ron,Justin,Ryan,Evan and I want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers continually. And not just you but your parents and BJ as well. Having seen Lindsey go through chemo, we know how it is. So we lift you up and ask God that your treatments will help and not harm; that He will strenghten your body second by second;that He will be present in the people that go through this with you;that He will give wisdom to your doctors; that you will sense (in a very real way) His love and concern for you and that He will give his angels charge over you.
One of his special names in the Bible is Jehovah Rophe. It means God who heals.
Jehovah Rophe, I thank you that you hear our prayers and you answer. Thank you for holding Kevin in the palm of your right hand. We trust in you and lay all our fears at your feet. May your peace descend upon the Seeley family and comfort them. This we pray in the holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen Love love love love etc Nancy and the gang.

"Fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round - remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped."

Lindsey and Cindy
Hey Kevin,
I got this in an email a while ago, and wanted to pass it on to you. You've made an impact in the lives of every person you've met. This is a little long, but definitely made me think of you:
"People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime."
We are all praying for you, Kevin, and we know you'll get through this!
Ryan
