I am so sorry Kev and any parent has to go through this!

Ok, now we have to find some lemonade in this big fat lemon. 1)Kevin knows his physical injuries now and he had to know sometime. I think he is possibly ready to begin working towards acceptance - he seems so much stronger than a couple months back 2) now that he has seen what he has lost, maybe he can work harder to restore some of his motor/verbal skills. Perhaps this hospital experience, especially seeing the soldiers, in a backhanded way can be a blessing in disguise. Maybe you can say to him, "ok let's kick butt and get going - this will NOT keep you down!" Maybe a goal, like challenge Kevin to improve in some manner so that next month Melanie and Pam will again notice and say "Wow - what a difference!"<br /><br />I know it is easy for me to say but sometimes something really unpleasant has pushed me to do something I would not have done otherwise.<br /><br />Hang in there - I am so proud of both of you.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Cathy MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-10740886027033277992009-05-05T08:56:00.000-05:002009-05-05T08:56:00.000-05:00Praying so hard for your strength Leslie, and for ...Praying so hard for your strength Leslie, and for all of you. God I just can't imagine what Kevin is going through, what he and you all have already been through. We're all out here praying for you, praying for the massive amounts of strength that you need and more.

It just doesn't seem right to me, to do all that while the soldier can hear what is being said. Kevin is still a soldier and even if this was for his discharge, it doesn't sound like they did it with much respect. You will always have our thanks and respect, Kevin! Many angel hugs to you both!Lucy Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045854278966261788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-6954045275815325562009-05-04T22:33:00.000-05:002009-05-04T22:33:00.000-05:00Aww, sounds like rough day.

But at least the process is started and Kevin is going to be happier in the end, when it's finished. As ever, my heart goes out to him for what he continues to go through, dealing with his losses. And to you, as his mom, watching him go through it. You're both in my thoughts and prayers. I hope tomorrow is a brighter day.Jessicahttp://wildrosestamper.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
