DAY 298

Karson seems to be coming down with an infection. I had the nurse call the doctor to see if we can put him on an antibotic. He has been having a fever on and off for the last day or two. He looks flushed and is not looking like himself. Karson has been doing so well. When he feels good, he really improves. It is just keeping him healthy that is the big problem. We take him up to Salt Lake again to the U of U for them to increase his baclofen tomorrow. I can tell that it is really helping in loosening him up. He still has a long way to go which will include surgeries to strip the joints. He is one tough cookie who can handle it. Karson all of us are impressed how you fight every day to make improvements. Thanks for all the continued support, love, and prayers. It gives us all strength.

    Karson,
    It seems like I always have some variation of cold or cough or some other nasty bug. I have missed you so much, but don't want to risk getting you sick, and your respiratory system seems so vulnerable! All the kids I work with at school keep on bringing me their bugs! I know that once the weather clears a bit the germs will go away and I will get to see you again. I think of you EVERY day, and you are always in my prayers! I hope your trip to SLC goes well. Keep fighting! You inspire me. Love ya, Lynette

    Susan, I just wanted to thank you and Mike and Karson for use of the condo while Kensley is going through the radiation. It is totally appreciated by all of us. I hope someday I can return the favor for you. It has made their experience being away from home so much better. I read this blog for Karson and keep updated and I am glad to see the improvement he has made. THANKS AGAIN!
    Camille
