Busy little Bees we are, we are!

The last couple of weeks have seemed to fly by! Let me tell you that since we have gotten the **Great** news about the tumor not recurring, we have started and finished round 4 of chemo which involved chemo given at home through his G-tube and are now on our fifth round in hospital (intense) chemo. Somethings that have happened since August 30th, the last time I really sat down and hammered out a post....
  • We came inpatient to finish round 4, at which time our stem cell transplant lady came and talked with us. She scared the living daylights out of me! We are going to be hospitalized 4-6 weeks for Round 6, then we are supposed to live in an Apartment at RMH for 2 weeks since we will have to make daily trips to the clinic at Riley. We have to CLEAN and by CLEAN I am talking something out of ET when they hang all the plastic and disinfect the house.....We have to have the couch cleaned the blinds cleaned the vents cleaned....then the normal everyday dusting and disinfecting.....he is then going to be confined to the 4 walls of our home for 6 months! He can't leave AT.ALL! Which also means momma can't leave at all during the day......small price to pay for trying to get to the "cancer free" stage!
  • I guest blogged over at Making Lemonade, one of my favorite blogs and bloggers, Carrie asked if I would do it for her Blogoversary and I couldn't have been more happy with the way the post turned out. Basically its an overview of our entire trip through life with Baby Kee, you can find it here  ( that is the first part, Carrie had to break it up into two parts!) And the second part can be found here.
  • We ordered more T-shirts (in all sizes) and I ordered car decals, if anyone wants one, we are doing free shipping. T Shirts are $15, Car Decals are $3 and we still have some bracelets for $2.....you know you want some...I will even accept the money paypal!
  • We got a little infection in our Button (during round 4 stay we had our G-tube converted to a button). We whisked Keegan away to Riley's ER on Wednesday the 8th, he was admitted, started on IV antibiotics and then released to come back in the matter of 3 days, Whirlwind I tell you!
  • Mommy ordered Keegan's Birthday cake AND won some delicious cupcakes from ABCupcakes out of Frenchlick, we are doing cupcakes on his birthday and the cake on the weekend since more people will be able to come up on the weekend! We are looking forward to celebrating his year of life-and what a year it has been!
  • There was a fundraiser held in NY NY last night, September 16th, thrown by one of my best friends in the entire world. Here are some pics of the night http://tinyurl.com/22lw8gd. I am anxious to talk to her later today and find out how the night went since there was a tornado in NY and all!
For the most part I think I have caught you up to date, I am gonna try my hardest not to let it get this far behind. I hate trying to remember EVERYTHING from the last month! Hope everyone is having a great September and looking forward to the fall and everything it entails!

  2. Hello,

    I haven't written before, but have followed your little man's journey for several months now. I wanted to let you know that we have a prayer website that has been a great blessing to many. I fell behind on it for a while due to health issues, but am now back to updating it. The site links you to other families as well as many, many people who would love to pray for your son. If you are interested, the site link is below. No matter what you decide, please know my prayers are with you.

  3. Beth, I think of Keegan and your family often. I was so happy to hear the recent good news and that his therapy is coming along well.
    This is the first of a life time of Birthdays for Keegan.
    Happy Birthday Little Guy!
