- Thread starter JohnL
- Start date
I am on the other side of the world, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. I have been tagging along this thread for a long time. During the operation, which is night time here, I was waking up every hour or so to check of any update on his progress. Relieved to see he has made it to this stage. Prayers for all.

Glad to hear K has made it through the operation. One day at a time from now on. Also to Korrine --that was a lovely poem you posted earlier.

Amazing. That's great! Waking up @ 2:50am in FL to get a drink of water and I just had to check my computer for any Khaos news. Thank you Tink for keeping us posted like you have. Before you know it you'll be back to trying to keep your man from tearing up the house. Make him take it easy and you take it easy yourself. Very proud of how you've handled all of this. You are one of God's little angels. I know the love you and Khaos have is so special that I wish you both nothing but the best from here on.

jrp1588,
You post has inspired me to unofficially rename this thread as:
The Khaos and Tink Epic of Fish and Love
Here's to Khaos being back to posting updates on his tank in a few months! Well keep hoping and praying and tuning in for updates.
RC, I'm very proud of what love this community continues to show when one of our own is struggling.

I find myself needing to personally update all the people on this site that have expressed support for Tink and Kevin. Your support for Tink has meant a great deal to Kev's Mom and I.
Often through this ordeal she has been stuck out in the county alone caring for a house that seems to be dedicate to any non-human critter than is in need with one room dedicated to a mini-ocean just to keep her busy.
We live in the city close to the hospital.
We did manage to talk to the Docs and see Kev in ICU late last night.
Words cannot describe how we feel about the team that spent 15 hours from prep to closing to save Kev's life.
Despite my pleadings his Mom wasn't leaving the hospital until she held his hand. Is stubbornness an inheritable trait? We were shocked when they finally allowed us to see him. It was like he had been transformed. He was peaceful and looked amazing well.
He had less stuff stuck in him. When his Mom talked to him he would respond by squeezing her hand. He would wiggle his toes to get the nurse's attention for some more pain killer.
We are trying to understand and wrap our heads around it. These are the facts as I know them.
Dr. Douglas was determined to save Kevin. Kevin is alive because all of his artificial parts have been replaced with human donated tissue and valves and artery that Dr. Douglas had obtained from we do not know where.
We know that people all over the world were praying and lighting candles connected to Kevin through the power of the internet and a belief in prayer which he shares.
Kevin is young and strong and as I said in a post earlier, as stubborn as a mule. Which like most things in life is a strength and a weakness.
Often he is too stubborn to listen to the Docs and too stubborn to die.
So there we have it. He still has the underlying immune disorder.
and hopefully will follow-up with medical care. But with the events of the past couple of days I wouldn't be shocked if that suddenly disappeared.
Finally, in all honesty his mother and I have thought that the mini ocean
in his house consuming money at an alarming rate and spewing moisture into his house was insane.
After I read Kev's Mom your comments on this site over the past day.
She said, "œI guess he just has to keep that darned aquarium!"
Which translate to me that until he is out and about we will be throwing money into the aquarium pit.
So who knows I may be back here seeking tank advice as my wallet empties. LOL
I am sure Tink will keep you updated on his progress.
As soon as Kev is able, we will take our laptop in and I am sure
he will be updating you from the ICU.
Thank-you all

Thanks for the update, nice to hear Ks improving..I personally know how hard it is when you have one of ur own go through so much.. I myself gone through it!!! you just get fed up!!! open heart surgery, PEA's, tamponades, VF, endocarditis..etc etc. You feel so helpless and powerless knowing you cant do anything apart from prey that everything goes well.
I still pray for K and family.
