This is to let all of you know that Kevin is doing very well. We were pleasently surprised today when the cardiologist came in and told him that he could go home.
Kevin's results came back from the Echocardiogram and it was very good news. According to the test, There was very minimal damage to the heart muscle, and that Kevin should make a full recovery within 6 weeks. Of course he has to make some lifestyle changes (proper diet and exercise)..but what a small price to pay to keep yourself healthy and alive.
I want to personally thank all of you for the support that you showed not only Kevin, but myself as well. It really meant more to me than you will ever know.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart, and still keep the prayers and well wishes coming as he makes his recovery. Like so many of you have said, he has dio's to finish and models to build.
