6/27/21 Update

Posted bykcav95Posted inUncategorized

Kevin had a great first weekend at Craig!

His X-rays came back and showed that he has some ligament damage so he is in a neck brace when he’s in his chair. Fortunately, they are not serve injuries and are expected to heal so it’s only temporary!

On Friday, his Uncle Kev traveled up from Costa Rica bringing colorful wildlife photos and no shortage of equally colorful stories. Kevin was so happy to be able to see him.

On Saturday, thanks to a special fundraising event happening at Craig, both Mom and Kevin got a special meal. Filet mignon!

On Sunday, Erickson and I visited with bags full of gifts from his incredibly thoughtful friends and family. We wrapped them and deemed the day “Kevin Christmas.” One of the gifts included a signed football from the Kansas City Chiefs, sent by his friend and their punter – Tommy Townsend. It was signed by Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce! The happiness it brought him is indescribable and we are all beyond grateful.

Kevin also requested some music so Erickson brought his guitar and played for all of us. He said it felt like hearing music for the first time and was a special moment for our family.

This next week, his schedule will ramp up and he will have more intensive therapy. Although it will be challenging, the rest and love Kevin received this weekend seem to have him feeling more than up to it.

Please send all your best thoughts and prayers to him as his begins this difficult time ahead.

Kev with the signed ball!

All our love,

Katie and the Cavanaughs

  10. I am so happy to hear that you got into Craig. They will not only give Kevin the best care, but they will be there for you all. The quote they always told my family is “this is a marathon, not a sprint” and there is no better trainer for this journey than the folks at Craig. Hang in there and best wishes to you all!

  11. Kevin, this is Phil, a friend of your dad. (You probably heard of him telling you about a guy named Phil that is a much better cyclist than he. I am that Phil ;–) My wife Nicci and I have been keeping up on your progress, and it is nothing short of amazing. We actually look forward to your updates because they are so inspiring. Keep hitting that rehab hard and we will be cheering you on from Maitland. All our best wishes and prayers are with you.
