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.

Wonderful things Happening


Well Evan is now as of today going for 24 hours on his own. He will not have any ventilator help tonight and we are going to see how things will go. He was red capped yesterday which means he is doing all the breathing without O2 helping him it is all him. He is doing great. The Doctor says he is doing well and will be breathing on his own when we leave in August. This is great news.

Well today Tresithney took a nap with daddy while we made dinner at the apartment. This is a great picture of them both. Thank you for all your love and prayers coming our way we are grateful to all of you. Love to all Robyn

Miracles are happening

Well I am back with Evan in Colorado. Well I was very surprised when I saw Evan. The last time I talked to him he was up to 6 hours. Well he is now doing 13 hours on his own. He is breathing all day without the ventilator, he does use a little O2 for now but he really is doing well. The doctors tested his diaphram and it was moving to a 3. A person with no spinal injury breathes 3 to 4 and Evan is at a 3 which is very good because he was at 0 the last time they tested. So good things are happening here in Colorado. I have to thank you all for your prayers and love that is coming our way miracles are happening. I have opened a account for Evan for those of you who wanted to donate to him it is at Wells Fargo Account # is 5154491863. Again Thank you for all the love prayers and help you are giving Evan and our family. Robyn
