Update #109 on Kevin: Going Home Today

So it’s official. Unless there is some major issue, we are taking Kevin home today around 4 PM. Thanks for praying for Kevin and our family. Kevin is sitting in his neuro chair one last time right now. Soon his custom wheelchair will be delivered, but until then we have a geri chair at the house. We are working out issues with the hoyer lift we have and deliveries of supplies and food are being made today and tomorrow. Please pray for the nursing staff that will be taking care of Kevin throughout the next 7 days. The first two days someone will be there 24 hours/day. The next two days someone will be there for 16 hours/day, the next two days there will be someone there for 12 hours/day and on the 7th day someone will be there for 8 hours. After that, they will move to a thrice weekly schedule.


Pray as we enter this next phase. Pray that everything gets delivered that needs to be delivered. Pray that Kevin continues to heal and progress, so that he can be admitted to a brain rehab center.

Thanks for reading and praying,
Matt, Angie and family

PS – Does anyone have any extra vinyl gloves hanging around???? We could use a few hundred sizes medium, large and XL.

    My prayers will be even MORE fervent as you go to this next step in Kevin's care and rehabilitation. My love, thoughts, and prayers are with each of you as you take care of Kevin. My prayer is also that a rehab center will be found for him. May God bless you and keep your faith strong. You are such an inspiration to me Matt. Your entries have so touched my heart. I have forwarded several to my daughter who use to work in the Missions Dept. at Southeast. Her heart is for the missions field and she and her husband give generously from their faith and heart. God bless!!

    Matt - Red Cross has gloves for you - Probably 1,000 per size. Do you want us to bring them to you today?
