*Update on walk t-shirts

By

A few people have asked about cost.  Kevin's sister Jennifer is ordering the t-shirts in bulk.  If you would like to contribute to the cost of shirts, you can give a goodwill offering of $5 (or less) to her venmo @Jennifer-Zieverink or give her cash the day of the walk.

He is free!

 Kevin passed peacefully surrounded by family members around 11pm last night.  We had offered Mass remotely together to ring in the Solemnity of Christ the King, and our parochial vicar Fr. Matt came over to anoint him.  It had been my desire to hold his hand all the way up to the gate of heaven, and I am grateful that I was able to do that.  I can't imagine the celebration awaiting him on the other side.  I know he was looking forward to seeing the children we lost so many years ago (Anna, Joseph, and William), along with so many other relatives and friends.  I feel a certain triumph, too, in knowing that there is no place in eternity for the chains of ALS that had so secure a hold him for six years.  They were shed like cobwebs the instant Jesus took his hand! A friend of mine found this picture in an old stash.  It was taken in 2013, long before we heard the words, "You have ALS."  This was one of Kevin's favorite places--on the boat in Mi...

Update and thank you

By
 First of all, a big thank you to everyone who has contacted us through text and email.  I wish I could respond to each individual one, but just know that the messages are all gratefully received and shared with Kevin.  I know that everyone is wondering how he is doing, particularly if you are used to seeing us at church or support group and we haven't been around. Our days are very unpredictable.  On some days, Kevin's respiration is relatively "normal," or at least calm, while other days revolve around coughing and suctioning mucus. We have discovered that a medication regimen (even through the night) allows us to keep ahead of the coughing for the most part.  Unfortunately, it also wreaks havoc on Kevin's ability to use his eye-gaze technology, so communication through his Tobii device is definitely hit-or-miss.  Some days he can type whole sentences.  On other days we have to spell out what he needs; I slowly recite the alphabet and watch for him t...
