So I'm starting to feel a bit more human again...I was sick as a dog for a few days there. I went to visit Kevin today and Mom brought Maya up a little bit later. He's talking so much better now. He's still having a little trouble with his short term memory. For example he knows who everybody is, remembers events and dates. But he may not be able to tell you what he had for breakfast or lunch that day. And he also has been having trouble remembering visitors. One of his therapist asked that we do a visitor sign in log, because they want to test Kevin's memory. There's a folder in his room and whenever anyone comes to visit, you just have to write your name and the date and time you were there.
Kevin also mentioned tonight that he's been missing his friends. All visitors are welcome to come see him and I know that Kevin would love to see some folks he hasn't seen in a while. Its important that we try to keep things scheduled because we also don't want to overwhelm him. Visiting hours are between 4pm to 8pm everyday but can be a little bit more relaxed on the weekend. Basically as soon as he's finished with all of his different therapies for the day then visitors are welcome. So, if you'd like to brave the drive just let me know. You can email me at KimmieK215@aol.com to exchange phone #'s or set it up. Or Progressive folks can always get with my mom. Whatever is easier.
Also we've been moved back down stairs to our old room on the 6th floor again. Yeah that move was a big ole waste of time but what do I know. He's in Room 648. He's got his own room again. The section he's in is secured so there's a white button you have to press outside the main door to page the nurses and they will unlock the door. As soon as you hear a beep you can open the door and come on in. I know Kevin will be happy to see some new faces. He's prolly tired of looking at my mug all the time :) All that's required is that you sign the visitor log.
Happy Visiting!!!

Kim,
Tell Kevin not to worry I can't remember what I had for lunch or dinner most of the time. LOL
Hi Everyone,
I will be more than happy to have you ride over with me and Maya one afternoon.
One thing...be ready to talk and listen to Maya because she has a lot to say. Imagine that!!
Wonder where she get's that from?
So good to hear that Kevin is doing so well. He has come such a long way. God bless you guys!
