Update #68 on Kevin

This morning was much more laid back. We found out last night that Kevin’s doctor had consulted with an eye specialist about Kevin’s eye. They are going to treat it with a very powerful antibiotic and topical ointment.


The MRI while not focused on Kevin’s brain (it was intended for his eye) did capture an overview of his brain. It showed that there was still blood residue around the fracture point on the right side of his head. It also showed residual blood in his brain where the trauma had been (including the brainstem). He said it could take awhile for that to go away.

Kevin has still been battling fever and they are trying to figure out what is causing it. His body has had tremors and chills whenever the fever is coming on, so it has been a signal.

He sat in his neuro chair once so far today for 2 hours and 45 minutes.  The physical and occupational therapists held Kevin in a sitting position on the edge of his bed for 20 minutes again today.

Pray for Kevin’s eye to heal, pray for his fever to subside, pray for his mind to heal completely.

Thanks for praying,
Matt, Angie and family
