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.

Night Nurses



Ericka and Shana were is night nurses and my favorite. They took really great care of Evan the would do everything possible to keep Evan out of pain at night. They also would be by his side when he was in pain trying to solve the problem or making him comfortable. I did not relize how much care the would do for Evan and the hard work the did to help him until we got home and I had to do what they did. I love these to nurses alot. They were great. Shana is with Evan in his chair. Ericka is by the bed.

Day Nurses



Dee and Bic were Evan's day nurses. Dee was the one who fused over EVERYTHING which at times was very frustrating for Evan. Bic was the one who worried about everything. They were both really good for Evan. They were also very good teachers. They taught me what I needed to know for the daytime stuff of taking care of Evan.
Evan brought the fun side out of everyone he met. He made people laugh and have fun. Dee is in yellow by the bed. Bic is with Evan and I.
