Update #12 on Matt's Brother, Kevin

This afternoon we met with the general trauma doctor. He said Kevin’s stitches could come out of the right side of his head and from his ear. He also gave us the results of the CATscan of Kevin’s face. There are a few fractures in Kevin’s facial area, including above the nose and within the jaw. He is calling in a plastic surgeon to verify what needs there would be. He verified from the X-Ray of Kevin’s neck that he does in fact have two fractures in two different vertebrae.


They removed the chesttube from Kevin’s punctured lung, so that seems to be a good sign. Apparently, his lungs are doing better. They have lowered the oxygen from 45 to 40% (it had been at 100%) so that is another good thing. Kevin’s fever broke this evening and he was doing well tonight.

After, going through another rollercoaster day, Angie and I retired to the hotel that is setup for our family. Last night we stayed in Kevin’s room, tonight Taylor is staying in there.

Thanks again for all the love and prayers,
Matt & Angie
