The Day Life Changed

On March 29 2010 Evan was driving to work when his tire blew which pulled him to the right and caused his Explorer to roll. He was badly injured. He broke C-5 C-6 in his neck and is now parlayed from the neck down. If the UPS drive had not been behind Evan he would of not been found until morning because he rolled off the road far enough no one would of seen his Explorer. Our life for the Evan Sleight family has been changed forever and we are now learning how to take care of Evan. This blog is to show our ups and downs on our new journey.

And the journey also contiues with our family now that it has been two years almost three. We still have our ups and downs just like all families do.

Well the little girls love the fact that they can ride with daddy and can help him eat. Tresithney said she was not going to close her eyes and take a nap because she was tired. Evan is actually weaning in the picture with Tresithney if you look close you can see no tubes. He can now go 20 minutes with just O2 and 45 minutes to 1 hour on CPap. his numbers just keep getting better which means that there is a better chance of getting off the ventilator. The kids also did a Tie dyeing class with Evan yesterday which the whole family had fun. The little girls thought painting a shirt was very cool.
Thank you for all the love and prayers coming our way we are very grateful for all you are doing for us and are willing to help were you can. Love Evan and Robyn
