Hi Family and Friends,

I thought I would give you a quick update. We finally received a copy of the report from Kevin's neuro-ophthalmologist from his appointment back in May. It was a bit shocking to find his eyesight isn't even as good as we thought it was. We were under the impressiont that he had a 20-degree field of vision in his left eye but it turns out he has less than a 10-degree field of vision. The doctor's report did include a recommendation for Kevin to have a seeing-eye dog. In the meantime, Kevin has been in contact with the Braille Institute to see about obtaining a "white cane" and hopefully the proper paperwork is underway for that to proceed. He will have to undergo training for that as well.

Kevin's case with Worker's Comp. is still moving along at a snail's pace but hopefully it will gain speed soon.

I told you last month that Everett was scheduled to have a prostectomy this Wednesday but due to scheduling conflicts, his doctor has postponed it until next week on September 30th. We would ask again for your prayers in this matter.

Grace and Peace,
Tami
