A Few Web Notes
Hey, everyone. We thought we’d post a little update regarding what’s going on with the site…
KevinsRecovery.com has turned out to be a great tool for keeping in touch with a lot of people interested in how Kevin is doing. We hear how it has helped many of you focus your prayers. One person even contacted us to offer a significant gift in building materials for Kevin and Tiffany’s condo! In addition, the wristband support campaign (see the banner in the sidebar) has been well received, and lots of donations have come via the PayPal link.
Since launch we’ve had over 16,000 unique visits. It’s been interesting to see the influence of Facebook, too. During the first week, a full 56% of visits were links from Facebook. Oh, and we got our first direct spam attack today via the Comments form. I guess that makes it all official!
Speaking of spam, we’ve turned off the outgoing emails for blog posts. We know that many of you check the blog regularly, so we feel you are checking for new messages when it’s convenient for you. If anyone wishes to “opt back in” to receive immediate email notifications for blog posts, just log in, click “subscriptions,” and check the box for General Updates. (Or just ask and we’ll do it for you.)
Note that if you registered at this site in the past, you remain on our email contact list. If anything big comes up, we’ll be sure to send an email to you. Of course, you can be removed from our email list at any time by letting us know.
Lastly, Kevin has requested a way to get connected to the Internet, so a few guys are looking into getting Kevin a laptop with WiFi or 3G connectivity at Northridge Medical Center. If all goes well, we may just start getting some blog updates from Kevin himself! We’ll see…
That’s it for now. Thanks for taking this journey with Kevin and continuing to be his cheering section, helping hands, and praying advocates.

About this Blog
On the morning of Friday, July 3, while cycling in the SCV with friends, Kevin was struck by a fast-moving vehicle. He was airlifted by helicopter for attention to his multiple injuries, including damage to his spine. This blog is for Kevin's family, friends, and colleagues, who are all praying for him and rallying to his side during this time of trial. Please watch this site for upcoming information on how you can help Kevin recover.
