Past the Scariest Part!!!!

I was able to sit down and speak with Dr. Devikis today and he said overall, Kevin's brain looks good for what it has been through. He did advise me that it does appear to be some small damage to the left side of his brain where he had the vasospasms after the initial aneurysms. Since everything the brain does is best described as "backwards and upside down" this explains why Kevin is having more troube with his right side and stronger on the left. The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body. Make sense?
He explained the way the brain heals itself.. it starts from the bottom up and since it effects the body backwards we should expect to see Kevin's upper part of his body gain strength faster like his arms and then the lower part of his body, his legs. See, backwards and upside down huh.

Dr Devikis told me today that we are past the scariest part..( big sigh of relief everyone and go ahead and slip in a thank you to the big man above.. I'll wait..... :)
He advise me that we are entering now into the road of recovery that will be a very long and tiresome one but I know we will get through it with faith, love, and support just as we have since this all began. A huge thanks to everyone in everyway!!

Love Kim
