Hey Classmates/Alumni: An Update on Kevin Hall !!!!!!!!!!
Edited by board administrator October 12, 2013, 4:22 pm
Hey Classmates and Alumni, Prayer definitely changes things and all of our collective prayers have been working for good for Kevin!! Big shout out and special thanks to Connie Washington c/o '77 (Kevin's Girl) who was with Kevin at the time of his stroke and who immediately called the paramedics for him. We thank God that Connie was there and that Kevin was not home alone. Connie has been at Kevin's bedside almost daily since the stroke happened. (THE MAJORITY OF THIS UPDATE INFO. IS FROM WAYNE WARE. I JUST WANTED TO POST IT & UPDATE EVERYONE)!! Kevin has had many visitors and phone callers inquiring about his well being. On Thursday, Oct. 3 Natanya Nelson-Blakely visited Kevin but Kevin could not speak or open his eyes beacause he had tubes all over his body including his mouth. Natanya was extremely sad to see Kevin this way. While Natanya was there our Willowbrook Jr. High School Classmate Richard Thomas "Pokey" visited him along with Kevin's daughter. What a difference a few days make : On Saturday, Oct. 5 Anthony "Tony B." Benford visited Kevin and all of the tubes had been removed accept for one and Kevin talked a little bit. On Sunday, Oct. 6 Lloyd Langie visited Kevin and Kevin talked a little more. Then : On Mon. Oct. 7 Wayne Ware & 'me' Phoebe Macon visited Kevin and on that day of our visit, Kevin heard our voices and was looking at us through the glass window in front of his room. The nurse told us that the last tube had been removed from Kevin's nose. She asked us if we were his family and we told her that we were his H.S. Classmates (she could not believe that we still kept in touch with one another since H.S.); she said that she was also amazed that Kevin had so many visitors come by to see him. She said that many patients have no one to come to visit them at all (which is very sad). When we came into Kevin's room when he saw Wayne & I; he said both of our names in full. I saw a familiar face and 'lo and behold' it was our c/o '75 Classmate Joy Jones there. Wayne & I had not seen Joy since 1975 (38 years ago). It's a small world; Joy and Kevin had a child together back in the day (a daughter). Classmates, Joy says hello to all of you, and she plans to come on the websites in the near future!! On Wed. Oct. 9 Delbert "Bay" Gordon visited Kevin, when "Bay" got there Kevin was sleeping but woke up when he walked in, Delbert "Bay" asked Kevin did he know who he was and Kevin said yes, it's Bay and then Kevin asked "Bay" how his business was going at his Magic Fingers Food Stand? They talked about 30 minutes. So Classmates: that's a great indication that Kevin is slowly but surely coming along. Classmates please continue to keep our Classmate Kevin Hall in your prayers. (Praise God that he made it through 2-two Brain Surgeries). But Kevin has a long road to go, he will need ongoing physical therapy to learn how to use his hands again and to walk. The Doctors do not yet know the full extent or the damage that the stroke may have done to Kevin's body until he begins the physical therapy. Also Kevin was taken out of the ICU Ward and is now in a normal hospital room (and that's great news). (Forgive me if I missed anyone in this update. If anyone else has an update of their own (then please feel free to post it. Thanks!!) HAVE A GREATLY BLESSED WEEKEND EVERYONE!! Love and Blessings, Phoebe
