That's just dangerous! But I know you'll get it worked out. ;)<BR/><BR/>I'm not really surprised Kevin fainted on the tilt table since his body has been used to being horizontal for so long. It's a horrible feeling that I can empathize with. I had the test and almost fainted, too. But his body should be able to adjust with time.<BR/><BR/>It must have been an incredible feeling to be out of the hospital for Kevin. The four walls (and ceiling, in Kevin's case) of a hospital room must get pretty boring!<BR/><BR/>I'm still praying for you all and for more and more progress!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-3509146234769539602008-09-23T18:29:00.000-05:002008-09-23T18:29:00.000-05:00Yes, leslie it is debbie as armyparents. WOW what...Yes, leslie it is debbie as armyparents. WOW what an evening. A year from now Kevin, Breezy, and you will be laughing about that ole man. I am sure that you made sure he was long gone now. I read your blog everyday even tho I may not write and it really makes my day knowing how great Kevin is coming along. I always let Josh know so he can also pass the word along to the other soldiers and I have to say it makes his day also. Is he able to have care packages yet and if so what kind of things would you all like. Notice that I said all of you!!!. Please let Kevin know that we are all rooting for him and praying daily. Please if there is anything that I can do please do not hesitate.

I am sure that this will be one of those things that will be funny someday. :-) <BR/><BR/>And WAY TO GO KEV!!! Eating up a storm (and cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory - YEAH BABY!!) standing, interacting, you are just cruising along! Keep up the great work Kevin, you can do it, you will do it, and guess what - YOU ARE DOING IT!!! And so are you Leslie & Breezy - hang in there everyone - I know there are many miles left on your journey but you are really kicking butt now. And we're all out here cheering you on every inch of the way. And we always will be. <BR/><BR/>Hope you are having a much better day with hopefully a new room mate who keeps his pants on :-)<BR/><BR/>God bless you Kevin, Leslie & Breezy, God bless you all. Thoughts, prayers, support and load upon load of Angel Hugs are always on their way to you all!! <BR/><BR/>- Kris, a Soldiers' Angel from RIKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095562211546078329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-800108278566377202008-09-23T10:33:00.000-05:002008-09-23T10:33:00.000-05:00Dear Leslie, Hi I have been offline for awhile and...Dear Leslie, Hi I have been offline for awhile and when I got on today and saw all of the amazing progress it was like WOW AMAZING congratulations to all of you and keep up the hard work you are doing great<BR/>keep on going Kevin you are one determined man and we are all hoping and praying for you progress daily.

I hope every day is that good (minus the roommate LOL)<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize you were so close to where we stayed when I dropped my daughter off at school! I mentioned before that she is a freshman at USF. It sounds like you are near what I think of as the upper part of the school, she lives and takes classes a couple of blocks down the road. I too wondered what they did there and figured it was a research facility.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, my daughter is so happy in Florida and living (kinda) on her own for the first time. I wish that for Kevin again someday. It has to be incredibly hard for an independent person to require so much care.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09893677002143050945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-2950174926062791372008-09-23T05:52:00.000-05:002008-09-23T05:52:00.000-05:00LESLIE,It is great to hear the big stride kevin is...LESLIE,<BR/>It is great to hear the big stride kevin is taking with his healing;<BR/>just a few days ago we were all saying just think in terms of baby steps in his progress.I can only imagine the joy you all get in Kevin eating,laughing,and even his picking...all signs that Kevin is<BR/>getting better.<BR/>Wow,not everyday does someone have<BR/>men throw pj bottoms at them (especially in a public place)...<BR/>only you (lol).<BR/>Looking forward to the day we can all tell Kevin to his face just how truly proud we are of his bravery.(while protecting us and our families and while facing these<BR/>days of recovery)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-63097524371425144482008-09-23T05:40:00.000-05:002008-09-23T05:40:00.000-05:00Dear Leslie,I am so happy for you and your sweet f...Dear Leslie,<BR/>I am so happy for you and your sweet family!

I would go to the head of the hospital tomorrow and be a bit upset that they did not remove him out of Kevin's room.. TONIGHT !!<BR/><BR/>That man needs in a room all by himself and pity the people who have to deal with him. He evidently is there to have his brain worked on too. He is to be pitied..but he doesn't need to be a threat to you and Kevin. <BR/><BR/>Who would have thought..even a month ago..that Kevin would be able to go visit all of the places you mentioned. Who would have thought Kevin would even be "eating" with the condition he was in just a month ago. He truly is a miracle.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if the next time he goes on the tilt table, he would do better if he didn't eat first ?? Sounds like his tummy is just getting used to food and maybe being in a position he's not real used to on the tilt table..plus having a full tummy...was a bit of a shock to his system. Sounds like he may have almost fainted.<BR/><BR/>He is so determined...<BR/><BR/>Better than a book...I see a "made for TV movie"....Kevin's Story..Fighting Back. He went to Afghanistan and fought and now he is most definitely..fighting back. Those suicide bombers are not going to win this fight. Kevin is winning each day as he get stronger.<BR/><BR/>STAY STRONG, dear soul. I don't know how you do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
