A quick update: Kevin was moved to the Stanford neurological ICU last night. This is more familiar territory for us all.
The ICU experience in Santa Clara revealed a couple people who are really going to bat for Kevin. Kevin’s Santa Clara ICU nurse was amazing; she showed up in the middle of the night and stayed until after most people go home from work. Also, the first head neurological resident that we encountered (and loved) at Stanford came down to Santa Clara in the middle of the night to evaluate Kevin and give advice. Having a friendly face whom you trust to help make medical decisions in an ICU is absolutely invaluable. We owe immense gratitude to the doctors and nurses who have gone above and beyond their normal routines to help Kevin. Also, thank you to all of you who have been thinking of and praying for Kevin. Please keep it up, he needs it very much!

That is so good to have doctors and nurses that you trust. I bet they have developed a special relationship with Kevin and will do everything they can. Thinking of you buddy! You're in the best hands.
