It’s been a quiet few weeks at the Neary household. While that means we don’t have much in the way of updates, quiet is a good thing in terms of Kevin’s progress. Kevin has been home from the hospital for over a week now and is doing very well. (We apologize for not updating the website sooner.) If you would like to visit, please call ahead to the house to make sure Kevin is available.
In terms of Kevin’s progress, we have a few updates. He is now able to use his pacing device (which allows him to get off the ventilator) for 6.5 hours per day. This is great progress, especially considering the setbacks from hospital visits. In addition, Kevin now has a device that allows him to talk when on his pacing device. Kevin is still getting acclimated to speaking this way, but since it’s Kevin we know he is determined to master it as soon as he can.

A devoted Friends of Kevin Neary committee is working diligently to pull together some amazing auction items. If you would like to help in any way, please contact Kevin’s lovely aunt Denise Neary at nearys51@comcast.net.
Thank you all again for your patience and support.

Glad to hear kevin is doing well. Keeping him in my thoughts and prayers.
Hi Neary family – Thank you for the updates. Everytime we see one in our inbox we whisper a prayer for you all. God says “I will NEVER leave you, nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6) and the Bible calls Him “a Friend that sticks closer than a brother.” (Proverbs 18:24) Those reassurances have comforted us and given us peace during difficult times.
