Tummy trouble


Tina, Annie and Aunt Beth went to visit Kevin today. When they got there, he was downstairs getting a GI. They are concerned that he is not keeping his food down and has lost a couple pounds. They found he has intestional malrotation, which is not uncommon. They plan to schedule surgery to correct it but want to talk to one of his doctors to see if he needs a feeding tube in place at the same time.
On a positive note, his heart and kidneys are getting better and he was alert and vocal for his mom today.

Sharon said that they will be out of town a week from Friday, so if Link needs a place to stay when you go to see Little Kevin let us know. Hopefully, Kevin will be transfered to Munson by then...it's hard to be that far away from him. Love, Teletha & fam

Kevin,
My name is Susie and I am a friend of your OLDer sister Sharolyn. I know the whole Penny family from the base in Bindlach, Germany. My family has been praying for Little K. I know it has been a long, hard road. Know that God is with you all, and that He is in control. You write wonderfully updating the site. Keep it up. Little K is beautiful! God Bless you all.
