At the end of the day...Kevin isn't being released tonight. The physician's asst (PA) came later this afternoon, whom I waited for all day and happened to miss, and would like the outpatient rehab center (Mapleton) to do a more extensive evaluation tomorrow - don't know why yet. I think they just want to be really sure what sort of therapy he'll need afterward...
I was with Kevin all day - he was out of sorts when I showed up this morning, says he's very restless at night - isn't sleeping. It hurts in a lot of places - his head the major one! I think he's really feeling it today now that the shock has worn off of his body. He's acknowledging often that he really messed himself up. He's restless at night and then tired during the day after doing just a few simple things (like shower). Sleep is the best thing for him - I sat all day with him and kept quiet and a washrag over his eyes so he could rest. He walked the hallways several times this afternoon. He gets up by himself and walks around - loaded a VHS tape to watch - then heads back to bed. He feels like crap! He doesn't want to be there tonight, but knows he's feeling the worst that he ever has.

I can't even begin to imagine what he feels like. Is he taking any medicine or is it too early for that? It was so nice seeing his face, btw, even if it was in a neckbrace! Still gorgeous :) Once again, thanks so much for the updates. I love you guys and are constantly on mind... Please be sure to tell him that for me.
