We’re going to Pump you up…

KJ had his big match up with his cardiologist on Monday. And although everyone including the medical staff, is impressed with his progress, there’s still a small hang up. After hours of chest x-rays, EKG, and echo – all revealed that he still has fluid around his heart. (within the pericardium).

To help get rid of the fluid, KJ is now on a steroid regimine and will continue to be monitored. Not only do we expect him to be totally pumped up, doing curls with a 25 pound pug in each hand, but he’ll likely be going in and out of roid rage. Not to mention that his wee little cries will gradually start to sound like the cry of a 300 lb trucker. “Waaaaaaaaaaaa, Weeaeaeaaaaaaeaa, Mmmmmmmmmmmem, waaaaaaaaaah.”

He goes back to the cardiologist next Friday. We’re hopeful that by then, the fluid will be gone and he’ll be able to be off the last few drugs that he is having to take.

Keanon continues to amaze us all with his incredible recovery and his strong little spirit. He is doing so well and with each day is getting back to himself…almost a little too active to where mom and dad share a panicked glance over his vigorous kicks or attempts to roll over on his chest! It won’t be long before he’ll be allowed to do all the things a 7 month old baby is meant to be doing! (like feeding the pugs his crackers)… Until then he’s restricted to sitting and laying.

Thanks all for the traffic to the blog – we know KJ has quite the fan base. He loves the comments and looks forward to reading them every day.

We’re still receiving lots of well wishes, nourishment, and goodies for Keanon. We appreciate it so much and are so grateful for such a huge network of friends, family and co-workers.

Thank you!
