10:50am Tami called with some wonderful news! She was in Kevin's room this morning. He was really starting to fidget and then he was really, really starting to fidget and tried to get up! Tami called for help. With the help of the physical therapist, Kevin was sitting up on the side of his bed today!!! He was pretty wobbly while sitting up, but he was sitting up nonetheless. He was able to follow most of the PT's commands.
Another bit of good news is when he is transferred to a closer hospital (a Kindred Care facility) within the next few days, he may end up right around the corner from Biola in LaMirada! For those of you who are out of state, this is right around the corner from where Sarah, Kevin's wife, works and only 5 minutes from Everett and Tami's house. There is one [facility] in LaMirada and there is one in Brea, which is about 20 minutes away. Eitherway, the distance is much better than where Kevin is now. Kevin is over an hours drive away in Riverside right now. If he goes to Kindred Care in La Mirada or Brea, Kevin will still need to go to a rehab facility. Unfortunately, the very best place is in Bakersfield. The doctors are highly recommending having Kevin go to this facility. The Hollars will have to decide what they are going to do. Please pray for them as they have to make these decisions. Joyfully yours, Karin

Praise the Lord for this huge step in Kevin's recovery and for his pending transfer to a closer hospital! What an answer to prayer! We will continue to pray for wisdom for Sarah and Kevin's family for the upcoming decisions. We'll also pray that God provides them with supernatural strength and energy --and that Kevin astonishes us with the speed of his recovery!
