The heart spec. came in today and said your heart is fine it is actually stronger and younger than you are. So the reason for high heart rate is dehydration.

Martha, that's great news. I am not sure what a "J tube" is but I guess Ken is not eating down his esophagus yet. Probably needs more time to heal first. Glad to hear Ken is home!

He is doing good at home. Still a lot of pain. Does a lot of coughing which doesn't help pain. He sees the surgeon on Monday for a followup appointment. The speech therapy has not started yet. He welcomes visitors but call first. 760.949.4297
Jimmy and I have been sick for over a week now we are trying not to give it too him. Bronchitis is hard to get rid of.

Martha, It's good to hear Ken is doing ok. Hope that cough goes away soon and he starts sleeping better. And you take care of yourself and get rid of that pneumonia. Hope to see you two out at the track sometime this year...

ken update
Hi everyone Ken is doing ok saw dr last week and they want him to try and maintain his weight without the feeding machine so thats what he is doing along with eating everything by mouth he weighs about 111lbs he has to be at 125lbs to get tube removed so that is what he is working at. He also goes on bike rides he is up to 1 1/4 miles. He really wants to be back in race car by sept. but he doesn't think he will be strong enough. Maybe we will just drive out for the weekend we will see. take care everyone. Martha

Martha, That's great news. Glad to hear Ken is coming along. Seems like a long process but it's looking like he can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Take care and see you two when you do make it out here.

Hi everyone,
I know i haven't updated you in along time. But here is the scoop. Ken had another set back on Monday, Took him to urgent care for a large rash on his backside and right leg. The urgent care thinks it is shingles so that's what they are treating it for. If no signs of relief i will call Dr. on Monday and schedule a appointment with primary. As far as the rest of him, he is slowly healing. His weight staying maintained right around 110lbs and all on his own. He is not on the feeding machine, its all by mouth and his doing. He is getting stronger everyday. Thanks to all our friends and family for there support and prayers. and to our Heavenly Father that has been by our side though all of this.
