Update #94 on Kevin

This weekend has been a flurry of activity. It does not feel like we have stopped yet. We are trying to get trained at Meadowbrook. We are trying to get the kitchen at Kevin’s house done, as well as minor improvements while we are working on it. We are going to be working on separating what of Kevin’s home effects will go back to the house and what will need to be moved into a storage unit for the time being. Appliances were ordered on Saturday. Kitchen cabinets were picked out and invoiced on Sunday. Appliances will be delivered and picked up on Monday and Wednesday. Cabinets will be bought and picked up tomorrow. We will have someone go to our (Matt & Angie’s) storage, where we have a few pieces of furniture that will take over to Kevin’s for the time being. The old upper cabinets will be taken out tomorrow. The new ones will need to be stained in the next couple days. We need to get curtains or blinds for each window, for privacy. A work crew from Highland Park Christian Church is starting at the house tomorrow at 4 pm, there should also be some family working too.


During all this, we will continue to be trained in caring for Kevin. This includes giving him feedings, turning him, positioning him, moving him into a neuro chair and/ or a specialized wheelchair, cleaning him, applying ointment, giving him medication, etc….. We are calling about insurance for his house and insurance for his person. We are searching for a home health care team. That is physiatrists, general doctors, pulmonologists, neurologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists. We are searching for a home health care agency, one that is the best one for Kevin. We are searching for a medical equipment supply group, that can supply everything that Kevin needs.

Pray for our family as we muddle through all of this. I know I have left things out. Today has been a blur. Yesterday was one too. We know that God will lead us through this. He has led us through so much. God is faithful, he will not let us be tempted more than we can handle.

Last week, we knew so little. How long would we stay at Meadowbrook? What facility/place would be next? When would Kevin’s house be finished? Where would we spend the holidays? Only one week later, we have many more answers. By next Sunday, we will know even more.

Thanks for reading and praying,
Matt, Angie and family
