Please Think of Kevin Tomorrow, Saturday, 12 Noon Pacific!

Kevin is continuing to slowly improve. We especially notice this when he’s not extremely sedated from medications. But as we’ve discovered over the last few months, good things are always accompanied by new challenges.

Within the last few days, there have been some frustrating miscommunications. Some doctors were planning for today being Kevin’s last day of radiation, but he actually has radiation therapy all next week as well. Furthermore, some doctors have started to show us less hope because they haven’t seen Kevin improve. This group of doctors assesses him right after he receives his medications, so he is very sedated whenever they walk in. They never see Kevin when he’s much more perky and aware. This is frustrating because these doctors feel that Kevin is not getting any better. However, other doctors see progress, and we see small improvements every day.

We have a meeting scheduled for this evening with a few key doctors. We hope that we’ll be able to smooth out some of these misunderstandings. We will make absolutely clear that Kevin is slowly improving, we’re not giving up on Kevin and we want to give Kevin every possible chance to beat this. To any doctor who tries to convince us otherwise, we’ll say, “wouldn’t you have liked to have been given a chance when you were 21?”

Thank you to everyone for planning to take a few minutes out of your day tomorrow to simultaneously send Kevin some positive energy! We are immensely grateful for every prayer or good thought you send his way.
