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 things at the Sleight home have become very interesting. On Friday the 8th of October I had Knee Surgery. I had a cyst and tissue out that was bothering me. Now Evan and I are both laid up and the Kids are learning all the things I did that they did not have to do. It has been a great experience for them to learn. Evan is down right now with a UTI and is feeling like crap at this point in time. The Meds he was given for the UTI are helping he has in the past two days started to feel better. I am grateful for the wonderful children we have and there willingness to step up and help when I can not. I am also grateful for all the love and support we have of all our family and friends. Robyn

Update
Well the fundraiser went well. We have had a donor give us $20,000. Which we are so very grateful too. We are going to be getting Evan a van soon. I have to have knee surgery at the end of the week and hopefully next week we can go out to Colorado to get things into motion for the van and adaptation of the van. The Fundraiser/ Auction is going to help finish paying for the van. Evan is doing well and so is the rest of the family. Fall is in the air and the fall colors on the trees are beautiful. Evan is also getting things together so he can soon return to work. His work is getting all the adaptive software and other things he needs. The next step is to see if it will work and play nice with the software and things at work. Keep fingers cross all will go well. Thank you for all your support, Love and prayers. Sorry for not keeping up better. Will try harder. Love ya all Robyn
