Brace yourself for another discussion on Kean's plumbing.
He stayed dry all last night and had a wet diaper on the small scale.
His doctor had us shove liquids down him and keep track.
By 1pm, he finally had another wet diaper-- but barely so.
So they sent us to the E.R.
Just too many days of sparse diapers.
In our five hours there, they tested his bladder (it had a normal amount of urine), did blood work (other than
the Leukemia crazy numbers-- all looked fine), his kidneys and liver looked good so they gave him two "bolus" IVs.
We walked and walked and walked the halls while the IVs dripped -oh-so-slowly into his system.
Kean smiled or blew kisses to just about everyone there. He was quite the hit.
Finally, 4 1/2 hours into the liquid-fest, he had a normal diaper.
Who knows what in the world is going on... but they did let us leave at 9pm tonight.
We've earned another trip tomorrow to the Cancer clinic to see his Oncologist.
The incision where they put his port in has a little bit of a gap in it. So I'm not sure if we are going in for Dr. Camilo
to check that or check up on Mr. Peebody.
At least we are home, sweet home. Tomorrow is the first day of school for the girls. They were
quite concerned we'd be stuck in the hospital for the big school milestone.

Dear gussy! Didn't realize when I talked to you today you had been at the hospital half the day before. Hope all is well and the flood-gates have opened! ;)
