Kevin had been skateboarding when he fell, resulting in a traumatic brain injury to a critical area of the brain called the brain stem. The brain stem controls some of the most basic life functions such as breathing, temperature, heart rate and consciousness. Kevin was left non-communicative and what appeared to be unconscious.
Through a miraculous set of circumstances God spared Kevin’s life. His time had not yet come. Cleary, God had other plans for Kevin. What those plans would be we could only imagine. Most of all, Journey of Hope is a story of just that, finding hope and allowing our faith to sustain us. With Traumatic Brain Injury the goals are often small steps, but major victories; a thumbs up, an eye movement, or a swallow. While we truly believe that through prayer and advances in science Kevin will one day “wake up”, our initial goal was to bring Kevin home in spite of the many challenges, and that is the focus of Part 1 of Kevin’s Journey of Hope – Going Home.
