At the beginning of his physical therapy session today, Kevin had a small seizure. A CT scan and an MRI showed that the tumor may have grown, or the swelling has drastically increased. Furthermore, it’s further up on his brain stem than it was before. Kevin has been moved out of the skilled nursing facility and into the main hospital, and his steroid dosage has once again been increased to reduce the swelling. He will go to an appointment on Monday with his neuro oncologist at Stanford, and we don’t know much more than that. Of course, I will post more information as soon as we know more.
Please keep Kevin in your thoughts and prayers this weekend. He really needs all the love and hope you can send him.

Hi Williams,
I want to send my love your way especially in light of latest news. Carolyn, I am remembering the fun birthday lunches we had with Pat and Heather back in Valencia days.
Thinking of you all,
