The weather is warm and the family has been able to do walks around the block at night which has been really nice. Lets hope that things stay good for a long while. We are so gratful to have the friends and family we do. We are still waiting to hear if Evans retirement has been approved ya got to love the goverment and the speed LOL. So thanks to Evans coworkers who are helping with donated leave. It is a wonderful blessing to have such great coworkers, freinds and family who care so much for Evan Thank to you all. Love Robyn

Well Evans Blood pressure issues are starting to stop. I think we have finally found the fix. It has finally warmed up enough that we have been able to keep Evan well. His last infection has been about three weeks now so that is also nice that he is feeling well and we have been able to be outside and enjoy th warm weather. Evan and I have been able to go for walks with the kids and it is nice to see him out in the sun with his kids. I am so grateful to all our family, Friend and Evans coworkers for your love and prayers. Love to all Robyn

Update

Well Colorado is was great. The adaptive Expo was really good we have seen a lot of things to improve Evan's independence. It was also good to see Dr. Hus who said to that he would like some blood work done and a few other test to see if Evan's sleep apnea is back that might be the cause of his sleepiness and for the blood pressure he wants a to try a new drug to up the pressure which I think has help him. Now if we could get the neck pain to be less he would be a lot happier man. The blood work came back normal and things seem to be doing well at the moment. Now life is giving us new test to face and new challenges. Evan and I have celebrated our 17th anniversary. I want to thank all of you for your support, love and prayers. Love Robyn

Update

Well Evan has another infection which is oral resistant. So he now got a pick line and is having IV Meds every 12 hours. The infection just seems to going around in circles oral meds until the meds need to be IV. We are getting use to the cycle and hope maybe we can break it soon. The days are starting to get sunny and we are now able to enjoy the sun and being outside. Evan and I are heading out to Colorado for a adaptive Expo and for a Dr. appointment with the SCI Dr. next week so lets hope all goes well and we will be able to get the low blood pressure issue fixed also. I will update again as soon as I have some more news to tell you all. Thank you for all the support, Love and prayers you send our way they are greatly appreciated. Love you all Robyn

Well Evan was doing better but yesterday started not feeling good. I took him to the doctor and he has another infection. It seems we go from the on infection to another. I am hoping as the weather starts to warm up the infections will stop. The family is doing well and we are all gettig ready for Easter and the kids are on spring break and get to spend time with
Evan. So for now this is our update. Thank you again for all your love,support and prayers.

UPDATE

Sorry here is the update Evans blood work came back Neg. so things there are good. Now if we could get him to feel better and not be sick all the time he would be a lot happier. He is sick again and on a different drug to see if it will work. Hopefully this will be the magic drug and Evan can start to feel better and can move forward. Now the other thing is could we get warm weather so he can go outside and in joy the sunshine and warm weather. I think thatwould help also because he is getting cabin fever I am sooo with him on that. I am ready for warm weather were we can go for walks and be outside.

Well I also beleive that the warm weather will stop all the infections. Thank you for all your prayers and for thoughts. We love you all. Robyn

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

Update

Well Evans health has not been well. His body is not bouncing back from all the surgerys and illnesses. So March 13 2011 he medically retired. At this time it is the best choice but it is hard Evan really enjoys being at work with his friends. Now all the paper work is to be filed and then we have to wait for the reply back for the goverment. So now starts a new adventure for Evan and I on what to fill our days with some of it will playing with the four year olds. Tomorrow we have a doctor appointment for Evan to find out why his blood pressure keeps dropping for no reason at all and Evan then get so tired there are days all Evan does is sleep. So hopefully we will find some good news tomorrrow or can find some answers. Keep the fingers crossed. I will be able to update more now i will have a little more time on my hands. I thank you all for everything you do for us and the love and support you give to us. with all my love and thanks 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.
