Dear Family and Friends,

It's been four months since my last update but not much has moved forward in Kevin's case. He did see the new ophthalmologist about three months ago who was quite thorough in his examination. He told Kevin he was amazed he had any vision at all due to the extent of damage to his optic nerve. For whatever reason, when he sent his report to Kevin's attorney, he did not put it in black and white that Kevin is legally blind. So now Kevin's attorney is trying to set up a deposition with the ophthalmologist to get him to say Kevin is legally blind.

Kevin and Sarah have settled into their new apartment and have it fixed up quite nicely, including the nursery. Sarah is at the beginning of her eighth month of pregnancy and doing very well. (Due October 20th) For anyone who hasn't heard by now, it is a boy and his name is Joshua Scott. Sarah had a 3-D ultrasound last Friday and invited the family to come watch. It was an absolutely amazing experience to see the baby alive and kicking inside his mother's womb. It was a bit difficult distinguishing his features but we all came away convinced he had Kevin's mouth and Sarah's nose and chin. What a joy it will be to see for certain in just a few short months.

Sarah's mom is giving Sarah a baby shower with her family and friends in her home town this Saturday so Everett has volunteered to drive her and Kevin up North and be her chauffeur-on-call for the weekend. I was delegated to remain home so there would be room in the car to bring gifts home.

Your prayers for a good and quick resolution with Worker's Comp. are very much appreciated. I'd also ask you to continue to pray for Sarah's pregnancy that all continues to go well. I should add that Sarah is waiting for a second test to determine whether or not she has gestational diabetes. It would mean a change in diet and possible medication. Risks to the baby and mother are not too high but we do pray there will be none at all.

Grace and Peace,
Tami
