Kevin decided on Wednesday to stop all treatment for the tumor and the infection. Holes were found in his colon, and would require a colostomy. The recovery would have taken many months and possibly never be complete. He came home yesterday with Hospice care. He reached this decision after much thought, and he wants to have the most quality with the time he has left. Many will disagree with this decision. That is your prerogative. This is what Kevin wants. He is so week from the infections, tumor, and medications that he is not able to do most of the things that he enjoys. This has been a terrible and wonderful 20 months. He wants to talk and visit, but please understand his energy is low and this is effecting his speech. He can not always speak on the phone. I will try to keep this updated daily, no promises. When the time comes he will be at home in our bedroom.
I will post the final arrangements when they are made.

Please know that you both are in our thoughts and prayers. It's times like this that I wish we were in St. Louis and not 750 miles away. Please give Kevin and hug and let him know we are thinking of him and you take care of yourself as best you can these days. Love, Rose
