UPDATE

I visited Keith on Friday and spent some time talking to Jenny on the phone and talked to Keith’s mom Wendy as well. Both were attempting to adjust Keith’s plan to let him go home at night and just bring him back in the mornings for his therapy. They hope to get an answer this week. While Keith is making progress, he gets very agitated about having to stay overnight at the facility. He knew who I was the second he saw me and asked about various people in our organization (Brian, Ray, Danny, Nino). While he does extremely well remembering certain things, there are still challenges with his short term memory. Please continue to pray that the therapy will help in this area and that Keith will continue to experience improvement.

This weekend Keith spent a good portion of his days with his brother Darren and also went out with family for dinner.

HOW YOU CAN HELP…

I know the extra driving for Jenny each and every day through traffic to see Keith has cost her significantly more in gas. We encourage any gift cards (food, gas, etc.) that can be provided for Jenny to offset her expenses.

Gift Cards can be mailed to:

Bowers Ambulance

Attn: HR / Keith MacLellan

3355 E. Spring Street Suite 301

Long Beach, CA 90806

We will deliver gift card to Jenny.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

UPDATE

Hello all.  I know it has been awhile since this blog was updated.  I got an update today from Keith’s brother Darren.  Here is what I know:

 

Keith is doing well and I am sure he continues to make progress in his recovery!  He’s been doing his therapy from 9:00 to 3:00 Monday thru Friday and 9:00 to 12:00 on Saturdays.  He still gets confused on occasion and just wants to go home.  He gets agitated when it is explained to him that he can not be taken home during the week.  Who can blame him! 

 

On July 4th, Jenny was able to take him out for about 5 hours.  They spent a few hours at home then went to visit a friend before taking him back to Casa Colina.  On Sunday my Mom, Jenny, and Maddy were able to take Keith back home for a couple of hours where they played monopoly and spent some quality time together. 

 

I will continue to update you as I get more information.
