Not too much happened today so I am going to take the night off from writing. Kev was tapped this afternoon and they did take out 220 CCs of fluid, but that's about it. We are anticipating surgery on Friday and it will only be canceled if any form of bacteria shows up in his cultures from yesterday.
I will talk more tomorrow night. Tonight I am just emotionally exhausted. For some reason I have been crying all day today and just need to take a little break tonight.

Chin up, Leslie - tomorrow is a new day. *HUGS*
About time you let it all out, Les! Nobody can expect you to keep it all bottled in forever! A good cry in a hot shower always helps me! I am saying my prayers for the surgery on Friday!!! Love to all of you!

Awe Les we all have days like that. Hell sometimes a Cheerio commercial will make me cry. LOL. Let it out and just go with it. Keep a tissue in your pocket and soak it if you need to.
You are going through a emotional roller coaster, so no one is going to mind or fault you for it.
I hope you have a better day today.
Love ya

Healing and positive thoughts coming Kevin's way!

I don't think Texas has any mountains like Pa. does but maybe you could find an empty oil field..just scream, yell, cry and curse. I can tell ya from experience that it helps, let it all out, the anger, stress, anguish.
The first time I heard the expression "The steps of grief" was after my divorce. Any loss or huge change in life has a period of grief, even if we are glad about the change, there is always a feeling of loss that goes hand in hand.
Don't be afraid to let it all out. You'll come back stronger and ready to face things again.
I'll send up a few extra prayers for no infection and moving forward with installing the shunt.
Just keep in mind that Florida and Washington are in the future and will be moving you back towards home. Home will be the place for the real healing for all of you.
Les, it's okay to cry. Just hang in there and keep your faith and strength. This is the one step back toward two steps forward. Tomorrow will be a better day. I will continue to pray that surgery happens on Friday. Love you all.

Emotionally exhausted must be a colossal understatement. We're all out here praying for you and with you Leslie, Breezy & Kevin - praying so hard for strength for you all. Please know that thoughts, prayers, support and sooooo many Angel Hugs are always on their way to you all.
And take another break tonight, and as much as you need! It must be so hard to do that, but I imagine that you just gotta do it in the name of sanity. Try not to feel guilty for taking breaks!
Hugs to you all.

Leslie,
I happened to stumble upon your page from my friend Calebs site, he too is dealing with a head injury and his mom is going through alot. His page is calebpotter.blogspot.com .
Of course his story is different than your sons. I am an avid supporter of the troops, im a part of Soldiers Angels, i created a large memorial here in the area i live in, and im fascinated by the life and the courage of a soldier. My boyfriend was in the Navy, his father was in the Army (Viet Nam) and his grampa was in the Navy (WW2). Plus i have family members on my side that have served-the reason i started the memorial though was because of Jamies grampa and his stories that just made me admire him so. Made me admire every soldier for everything that they do that i wouldnt have the courage to do. It takes one of a kind to put his life on the line for our country and they should be appreciated everyday especially at a time when we are at war. So i want to say Thank You to your son, thank you for serving our country. Thank you for having a son that served our country, there are people out there who do appreciate it. I send my love your way and i wish your son well. Your blog is a reinforcement for people to acknowledge exactly what is going on over there and just how much support we need to send the troops.
Much Love.

leslie, right now the best thing you can do for your son, is to take care of yourself, if not, how can you take care of him? take time away from the hospital or this will become way too much to handle, your daughter will be more then willing to help out while you are not there. remember god only gives us what we can handle.
So sorry that you had such a hard day ... hang in there, Leslie, I just know you'll be on your way to Tampa soon, and I will be down there to visit you as soon as I can get there!
Taking Jason to school on Monday, and then I'll be back here twiddling my thumbs (and worrying, but I can't even compare my worries to yours).
Big hugs,
Joanie
Hugs Les! Love ya!
I'm thinking of you and praying for you and for Kevin's surgery to go ahead on Friday. It's ok to have a good cry and let out all your emotions. Take care.
