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.

Update
Well right now Evan has a really bad UTI. He is starting to feel better. The blood pressure question is still not answered. He is still dropping and we do not know why the Doctor dropped a few meds and add a higher dose of another but Evan is still dropping. So we wait to see what the other tested said but I can say right now they will come back normal. Well I can say I am ready for the warm weather to come and stay and so is Evan he really enjoys being outside. Thank You for your love and support Robyn

Six Month Reevaluation
Well we Returned to Craig Hospital last week for Evan's 6 month reevaluation. He still has the same level of sensation as he did when we left in August. His muscles on the right side are getting stronger and he now has a flicker on the left. He is working really hard to get the arms moving again. The right will come first. Everything else is going well. He will not have to return to Craig until a year from now so hopefully by then Evan will have movement on the right side and they can start to work with getting the arm stronger. Well I am so grateful for all of our friends, families and Evan's coworkers you are the greatest and your love and prayers are making things move forward for Evan Thank you for all you do for us.
