Apparently Kev had a plan the whole time to avoid the constant trips back and forth and a possible stay at the House of Care. His plan was to spike a fever around midnight, spend 5 and a half hours in the emergency room, then shack right back up into our old room - 833. This may sound terrifying, but Kev had already popped to Ambien and they were pushing Morphine into him when we arrived... so maybe not so bad.
They ran a bunch of tests, stole a lot of blood, and filled him with fluids. All in all he was O.k., this just seems to be a repeat of the last time we went through this type of treatment. There seems to be some unwanted characters on his backside that are causing all the problems. Diagnosis is to wait for his whites to come back up and then we're back to normal.
Tomorrow he has a quick Vinchristine (chemo) treatment followed by another spinal tap. Gonna be a long day, but Kev feels his best when they a pumping him full of chemo.

Kevin,
Just wanted to let you know I finished the 5K today in 28:30. I dedicated it to you, even painted your initials on my thigh. You kept me motivated even when I wanted to give up. You are truly an inspiration with your will to fight. I'll be home soon to give you a big hug and catch up on what's happening at home. The finish line is just up ahead. Love you!
