Day 465 - Sep 6, 2009

Today Breezy and I took my dad to a Rays game for his very late Father's Day gift. We had a good time, but I was very disappointed in the 'handicap' seats that Ticketmaster sold me. They were definitely not handicap accessible seats at all. It was a lot of running around and I am just so glad that we didn't take Kevin to it. Kevin had no desire to go (until last night, of course), but at least I learned the lay of the land at Tropicana Field before taking Kev - which I hope to do soon.

Kevin, in the meantime, stayed home with my sister and my mom. My sister was actually babysitting too and Kevin had a blast with all of the kids. Here are some photos:

This is Kevin sitting on my nephew, Michael:



This one is Kevin carrying Michael:



Here is Kevin's scary face:



And this is of the kids running from the scary face:



They all had such a blast with each other. Kevin stayed out of his room all day and believe it or not - is still sitting here in the living room watching TV while I am writing the blog.

And I am just going to end with some more photos from the last few days that I just never got around to uploading. Kevin slept fine with no issues last night so I am just going to pretend that things are fine for tonight.

Here's Kevin pigging out on a cupcake:



This one is of Kevin playing XBox with his new controller:



Here's Kevin just standing under the waterfall:



This one is of the kids playing ball (great therapy - Thanks Moe!) in the pool:



And lastly, here is Kev enjoying the jets in the pool. He can't be in hot water, so we opted to just have the jets in the normal pool - something the pool guy suggested. It was a great idea because it does make a difference to his contracted muscles.



Tomorrow Kevin wants me to show everyone photos of what he looked like in the beginning. Maybe 2 months post injury. It will be shocking to everyone as these are the photos I would not post until Kevin gave me permission. You will see what his head really looked like and what his burns were like on his face. It will be shocking and outright sad. It's also something that you may want to look at before allowing children to see. These images will be very graphic.

I am mentioning this tonight so that you have time to decide if you want to look at the photos yourself. This way - if you don't want to - just don't read tomorrow night or the next morning.
