Greetings everyone. Take a close look at this picture...and what do you see...Kevin holding a game controller in his hand. Yes, we finally made his wishes come true tonight. Kevin has a game system for his room. It's not an Xbox, but I really don't think he cares...he had the biggest smile on his face when we got there and set it up for him.
We got him a Super Mario game, and he started playing right away. He was so intent on playing the game that he didn't speak to anyone for about 20 minutes. Maya kept asking to play....but daddy wasn't giving up the controller!! But it was okay, because Uncle Jim brought 2 game systems and Maya was able to play with the smaller one.
Jim also brought him up a bag of candy, with tootsie rolls in it....which induced another smile from Kevin and a speech from his nurse! I told him he is only allowed one piece a day...and he replied "yea right". Maya also enjoyed a tootsie roll pop!
We had a really nice visit with Kevin, Kim and Maya tonight. Kim brought Kevin up a Subway Sandwich for dinner and helped give him his bath while we played with Maya. I love playing silly games with her like "I spy with my little eye".. she always tells me what she is "spying"..lol!
Needless to say, when we got ready to leave, the game controller was back in his hand and he looked settled for a good long game. Kim was exhausted so she packed up little miss Maya and took her home.
It was great to see Kevin enjoying himself and not being..."so bored".

What a great picture and a huge "Thank You" to Debby and Jim for the game system!! I know Kevin is happy being able to do something other than watch TV and movies!!
I don't know what we would have done without all the things Debby and Jim have done these past several months. I hope they both know how much we love them!!
According to Maya there is no one like her Aunt Debby. Maya will tell me sometimes she loves Aunt Debby more than she loves me. I remember how special my Aunt Bibbie was to me when I was growing up so I'm glad Maya has a special relationship with Debby.
Enjoy your games Kevin and have some fun!!
Terry purchased Kevin the movie AVATAR today and we hope to bring to Kevin tomorrow after church.
We have so much to be thankful for and we know it's because so many people continue to call out Kevin's name to God in prayer!
Please continue to pray because we know we are seeing a miracle right before our eyes!!
Debby and Jim....thank you so much for all you do and have done for Kevin, Kimmie and Maya.
I hope each of you know how special you are to Kevin, Kimmie and especially Maya.
Maya tells me all the time she loves her Aunt Debby and sometimes she tells me she loves Aunt Debby more than she loves me. I remember how special my Aunt Bibbie was to me when I was growing up and I'm glad Maya has a special relationship with her Aunt Debby!
I don't think I can say "Thank You" enough for all the prayers and well wishes said for my family.
God has truly blessed our family by placing so many wonderful people in our lives!
