Insert Sigh Here.

Phew.

I'm so glad I was wrong.

After being up all night with Kean coughing like a horse

and a steady fever, I thought for sure we'd get admitted

to the hospital today.

Luckily, by his afternoon appointment, his fever was gone and

his tight cough had lightened up a bit.

I didn't even mind unpacking the bag I had packed.

(Try saying that 10 times fast).

 Kean cracked everyone up by motoring back all on his own

to the Vampire Chamber (the blood draw room).

 My mom, broken foot, bruises and all went with us.

She did not want me going alone.  Love her!

Anyway, the verdict?  Kean has one of those nasty viruses

circulating around.  His counts all looked great except for his

Neutraphils (his ability to fight germs)-- they were crazy low.

Dr. Camilo figures it is because of the virus.  We'll

check them again in a few weeks.

And that was it-- we GOT TO GO HOME!

Sweet.

 Finally, remember the woman in Kentucky who has been paired

with Kean and runs for him since he can't run for himself?

Look at this super cool picture of her nails.

She has a big "Blue Grass" race this weekend.

Love it and love her.

Thanks Clair.

From Down Under

Kean got a belated birthday box in the mail.

And I don't know who was more excited-- the boy or his gaggle of sisters.

 The box was from his runner, Clair and her family.

Clair is a pediatrician in Lexington, Kentucky who was

paired with the Keanut man as part of a Facebook

organization called I RUN 4.

Since Kean doesn't run (let alone walk)-- Clair runs for him

almost daily and once in a while participates in marathons and races.

She sent him a medal from her latest race.

He's getting quite the collection.

She also sent all kinds of goodies and gifts--

a few favorites?  Hats for the girls from Australia

where Clair is originally from.

And this little guy--

a fighter she said-- for our fighter!!

Flying Pigs

Surprise, surprise.

Kean got his very own package in the mail.

 The package contained a poster from the "When Pigs Fly" Marathon

in Cincinnati and his very own running medal.

This makes the third marathon medal his runner, Clair

has sent to him.  She's a mom, a pediatrician and a runner

in Lexington, Kentucky who runs on behalf of the Keanut man.

The organization ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/irunformichael/) on Facebook has taken off.

There are now thousands of runners waiting to be matched with a child

who cannot physically run for himself.

So if you know of any special needs kiddos or children

with health issues and challenges-- have them sign up!

We have loved this experience and can't wait to someday

meet Clair and her cute family.
