Today Kevin had his staples taken out. We brought the kids with us, and they thought it was very cool watching the Dr. remove the staples. They didn't like to see their dad in pain, but he handled it like a champ.
There's been no change in his facial paralysis...he is still taking steroids, but at this point, it doesn't really seem to be making a difference. We have faith that this is not going to be permanent and Kevin is refusing to let this slow him down (much to MY disliking).
Kevin came to church with us last Sunday for our church's children's Palm Sunday program. He sat right up front and dealt with the loud music and clapping. I know he is struggling and uncomfortable, especially since his face is not the same as it was before, but I am so proud of him.
I am also completely shocked at how quickly he has healed...His incision looks great, the staples are now out, he is getting out of the house and even walking around the neighborhood. He does all of his facial exercises and is not letting this define who is or who he will be. I just love him so much, and have I said how proud I was???
