Update on Kevin

Post by orvet »

My son in law Kevin has been battling leukemia for nearly 2 years.
The leukemia has been remission for some time now, but he developed a fungal infection behind his right eye.
His immune system was weakened from all the chemo therapy and his body could not fight the infection.
The doctors did several surgeries to remove the infection including removing part of his brain.
They were not able to get all the infection and could not do any more surgeries.
About three weeks ago Kevin and my daughter Yolonda were married in the hospital and Kevin came home to be cared for by Yolonda with hospice overseeing his care.

Yesterday morning at 5:30 AM Kevin went home to be with Jesus.

Please keep Yolonda and her son Oryon in your prayers as they go through this difficult time.

Thank you for all your prayers. Praise God Kevin is no longer suffering.

God bless you,
Dale

Man, I am so sad to read this Dale. Please know that I will say prayers for you and your family.

I hope with time the sadness will lessen, and leave you all with the memory of the fine man I am sure that Kevin was.
