Update #97 on Kevin

Kevin is still at Meadowbrook. I think everybody involved (ie doctors, family, etc..) is realizing that it takes time to prepare to do home health care for someone. Last week, Kevin threw up several times. They were a few times that he aspirated (got it in his lungs). After doing an X-Ray last week they saw he has some pneumonia in his lungs now. Taylor texted us this morning with the news that he was throwing up again.


We found a storage and have been getting Kevin’s stuff moved there that is not coming into the house. We found mold growing on a couple dressers that we thought we damaged, but the insurance assesser was not going to pay for those. Can I just say that most days as of late, I struggle with hating insurance companies?

We tried really hard to get Kevin’s house to a point where some of us could start staying there (Angie, the kids and myself). Many volunteers were working on the house last week. We worked all day Friday, but it wasn’t quite okay to move in, so we crashed somewhere else. This morning is the first morning that we woke up here. There are still things to be done, as we prepare for Kevin coming here.

The past several days have been a mixture or training, moving, and being frustrated at the training process that keeps changing and yet remaining inconsistent. We hope that a meeting on Monday will help clear that up.

In one of the times when Kevin was throwing up, Angie was calming him down. She saw tears start coming out of both eyes and a look of realization about what was going on. We haven’t put any ointment or drops in the left eye for weeks, it was tears. While we don’t want Kevin to throw up or feel bad. Seeing tears, shows another ‘new’ thing that Kevin is doing and continuing to progress.

Have a great Sunday. We’ll be at Highland Park Christian Church. What will you be doing?

Thanks for praying and reading,
Matt, Angie and family
