It’s great to hear Kevin’s doctor saying that he is slowly improving, regaining consciousness and responding to commands. We continue to pray for Kevin and his family. Two years ago a good friend of mine had an accident snowboarding in Alberta. There is a tragic side to the story but a very upbeat side to it as well.
