Kevin's Recovery Helping Kevin Mather on his road to recovery

First Outing

As Kevin continues  his physical therapy he is learning more and more things that are enabling him to be more independent.  Yesterday he mastered transferring in and out of a car.  Although this was a strange experience at first  he was very eager to do this because it allows him to go places.  And the first place he wanted to go to was church.  He was able to go to church this morning and was greatly encouraged by the message and all the people he was able to see and talk to.  He hopes to go again next week if everything goes as planned.  

This week he hopes to order his own wheelchair!  Up until now he has been using one loaned to him from the hospital.  Although it may seem like a small decision there is a lot to consider when looking at a chair so please pray that he will find one that fits him perfectly and will work for him.  He will also be doing a “field trip” of sorts this week to Claim Jumper this will help him put into practice different things he has been learning in rehabilitation and what it looks like to do more on his own.  Also he will be starting driver’s education on how to drive with hand controls this week at some point.  Please pray that he will catch on quickly and won’t get frustrated as he will be relearning a completely different way to drive.  

Kevin and Tiffany again are thankful for everyone’s love and support.  A special thank you to those that came out and worked on the condo on Saturday.  And they always enjoy people visiting and have been encouraged by all those that take the time to come by.
