7/18/21 Update

Craig had some visitors this weekend!

Kevin’s friends Burns and Nico flew out to spend time with him! On Saturday, Kevin was up in his chair and gave them a tour of the rec room and the outside campus at Craig. They also watched basketball and golf together. The picture above was taken today as Kevin spent more time in bed and all three friends watched more golf and caught up with each other. Burns’ Mom, Weeze, also came with the boys and visited with Mom. I am grateful for all three of them for traveling here to bring some friendship and strength to Kev and Mom!

In the week ahead, more focus will be put on eliminating the pain and stiffness in Kevin’s neck and shoulders. Hopefully, along with freeing him from discomfort, these efforts will allow him to spend more time in his chair and in physical therapy for his arms.

We are also working on managing his muscle spasms as they have increased and make it difficult for him to be in his chair and cause him discomfort in his bed. These muscle spasms are typical in patients with spinal cord injuries so it will just be a matter of trying to reduce them with medication and, if absolutely necessary, a surgically implanted device.

Thank you all who have and continue to show such kindness and generosity. Your support means more than we can say.

If you wish to make a donation to Kevin’s fund to assist with the cost of a powerchair, new apative vehicle, assistive home features, medications and other tools for his life ahead please select Kevin’s name on the drop down menu at the link below: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/t4f

Much love,
