Dear Friends,

Tami called me at about 9am this morning. Another CAT scan was done on Kevin in the wee hours of the morning. The swelling has gone down a little more. The doctors say that the swelling is reducing more quickly than they had expected with Kevin’s type of injury. (We have a very big God.) Kevin is still on life support. One of his eyes is now more dilated than the other. They do not know if this is because of a fracture or swelling. They will try to figure that out today. If it is swelling they will need to do a procedure to reduce the swelling. Tami is doing okay and so is Sarah. Sarah’s mom is arriving tonight. Tami said that Kevin is not out of the woods yet. Once 72 hours has passed they will take him out of the medically-induced coma and see how he responds.

Kevin is learning to do industrial plumbing. He was at a school up ona ladder cutting pipe. A co-worker was nearby, but did not actually see what happened. When the cutting noise stopped and the co-worker heard a funny noise he called out Kevin’s name. When Kevin did not respond he went to see why. Kevin was wearing a hard hat. Please continue to pray for the family.

Thanks, Karin
