Update for Kevin

Kevin is in a stable condition and although at this stage he is still experiencing some difficulties and setbacks, there are positive aspects too.

He is still having some problems with temperature control, as is often the case with people who have suffered severe brain injury. He is receiving some soothing massage, and he has a CD player and lots of music that he knows is being played for him, including songs that he and Alison both liked in the early days of their relationship. Familiar things such as music and smells can be very helpful to people in a coma. It is still a waiting game and will remain that way for the next 6-12 months. There will be no quick answers as to how Kevin's recovery will progress, but Alison is now looking to establish a routine for caring for him.

Your continued support will be greatly appreciated and we hope that everyone will continue to send their love and encouragement to help Kevin along. Read more!
