Welcome Home

Well we are finally home from Colorado. Evan was released on August 17 2010. We are starting to get into a groove to were all of us can help out Evan and things are going great. The only down fall is that we are unable to all go some where as a family. We are in the process of looking for a van so pray that something will happen soon. I am so grateful to all of our friends and family for everything you have done for us THANK YOU!! With all our love Evan,Robyn,and family.

Day in the pool

Well this was Evan's first time doing pool therapy. He loved every minute of it so did Brittney. It was very cool to watch Evan float in the pool. I hope that all is well at home. Thanks to everyone We love you all without you we would not be where we are now with all the sucesses we have had. Craig was the best place for Evan the people here have helped make Evan the new man he is now. We have three days left and then we are homeward bound. It will be great to see you all. With love from Robyn,Evan and Family

Tie Dye with Uncle Evan

Well this weekend Evan had Monte, Melanie and family come visit. It was a fun visit Britton, Parker and Irie got to do tie dye with Evan. Here are there shirts. The kids I think had some fun. It was great to see Monte,Melanie,Britton,Parker and Irie. Brittney was able to hang out with her cousins and had fun teasing Britton. Time is starting to get closer to home. We are starting to get excited to be back into Utah and back to family and friends. Thank you to all For the love and support you have given us.

Going to the East side

Well today Evan was moved over to the east side of the hospital. This is where they prepare the family for all the stuff they will have to do. I and the kids have been doing everything for Evan for two months now and really I do not see the problem but any way here we are almost ready for home. The 17th of August will come fast I hope there are alot of things we will be doing for the next two weeks. I just want to thank everyone for their love,support ,kindness and PRAYERS with out all of our family and frinds we would not be where we are today. THANK YOU!! form the Sleight clan. With all my love Robyn

Out of the Mouth of EVAN

We just had another conference with the doctor and it looks like we will be coming home on the 17th. They want to make sure that the drugs that they're giving me is actually regulating my blood pressure and pulse. Both of which were dropping too low. They have done a lot of tests on me and everything looks fine. The only thing contributing to be dropping too low is the spinal cord injury. It will be good to be back and see everyone. Again, thank you all for everything that you've done for us. I feel tremendously blessed.

Things are looking up. I have a small flicker in my right bicep. The muscle gets tired very quickly and will work one day and then not work for several more. By work I mean I can flex it and it will visibly move. Again, it's only a small muscle and not the entire bicep. I do have hope and faith that I will get back more movement.

Hobie Day

Well on July 30th Craig Hospital did there 31st annual Hobie Day. Which is where they take all the Craig hospital patients that are able to go to Cherry Creek lake. This is a big event people donate there time to come help the patient so ride Sail boats called Hobie boats. There is also a pontoon boat for those who are unable to get on the sail boats. Evan was cleared to do both. It was a really fun day. The kids had alot of fun with there dad before I brought them home. Evan was able to get out on the water and injoy a ride out on the lake in the pontoon boat and also was able to go sailing for the first time. He had a great time.

Tie Dye for July

The little girls love to be able to paint shirts with daddy. The kids all got to tie dye 3 shirts before they went home. The kids are in utah now I took them home over the weekend. Brittney and I came back to Colorado until Evan is release sometime this month.

Hot Day to play part 2

Here are the pics for Hot day to play Part 1

Hot Day to Play Part 1

Well we do not have a swimming pool close by where Evan can watch the little girls play in the water so we used the fountains here on the grounds to let the girls play in the water. The big kids like it too. They all have had fun playing in the water and Evan around them watching them get wet. Things are going well and we will soon be on our way back home August is right around the corner. I think we are all ready including Evan to get back to some kind of normal life without all the Doctor and Nurses around.
Well hope is all well with all our friends loved ones and family. Thank you for all your support and prayers. Love you the Sleight Family

Picture will be coming soon the computer is not uploading them very well tonight so Part two of Hot Day to Play will be coming soon. Sorry about that.

Well the fuel pump went out on the van a couple of weeks ago and my angles Brother Duane and My Dad came out an fixed it so I have the van now. Thanks to them the kids can now go to their YM/YW activates and are able to hang out with there new friends they are making out here. Well Evan was going to post the other Picture of me sitting on his lap but I am beating him to it. Sorry the last few weeks I have been a slacker. Things have been busy and the days start to run together. We have been visited by Anna Evan's boss from work. It has been great to visit and see her again. Well yesterday Evan had the Trake removed from his throat he is now on his own. It is a miracle in itself. He is doing great. This month has gone by fast we will be home soon. August is right around the corner. Evan has also been moved to his own private room which is really nice not having to share space with someone else.
